It was 53 degrees and cloudy when I started. I was in the clouds, I’ve been told that many times 😊, half way up the trail. Got some good pics. By the time I got to the lookout, visibility was about 75 ft. The wind was blowing and it got colder. Not knowing if a storm was blowing in because I couldn't see anything, 🙏🏻, I kept on heading up the trail. When I got to National its was colder as the wind was blowing harder. I figured that a storm wasn’t anytime soon so I made good time, for me, to Goat Hill since I didn't stop for any views that weren't there. I DID stop to look and listen to... NOTHING!!! IT WAS GREAT!! On top of the hill I could see about 100ft in all directions. You talk about seclusion this was it. Like the song says, 🎼 Alll By Myself. It started to clear up where the National met the Pyramid Trail. I ran into two hikers coming down Telegraph in the early hours and they warned me of the slippery rocks. After that I didn't see anyone until I got back to the lookout where I took off a layer of clothes. The trailhead parking lot was full as my truck was one of three cars in the lot when I started. I stopped at the Bursera trailhead to change my shoes and ended up having a nice visit with LindaAnn. It was a great day for a hike!! But then again they alllll are!!!

Ocotillo are started to bud which makes them not look so ugly like they do most of the year!!
