| no partners | | Yes again!!! I met up with Lourdes at 5:15 am with hopes of hitting the trail before the masses of holiday weekend hikers arrived. Success!! As we were heading up we saw several new trees down across the trail since Sunday between the trailhead and the sign in box. After a quick climb over we took off speeding up to the saddle. Yay! For once I didn't need to stop along the way. Tossing our jackets and hats on we proceeded to the summit (record time for me) it was perfectly peaceful only 2 others sitting quietly enjoying their summit success. A few pictures later we headed down only to encounter heaps of holiday weekenders heading up. Many languishing along the sides of the trail in small groups. Others asking us "how much further" ugh. As we passed the sign in box we saw crews had come in to cut the downed trees, so we were able to rush through to get on with our afternoon plans. Lourdes to pack her campsite up and head home and I to the hotel and then off to Lake Powell. Perfect day! |
