GPS Route Recorded on Route Scout View

Arrived at the Meridian Trailhead a just shy of 6 a.m. Dark with only one other car there. Brought my headlamp, but mostly preferred to hike without it. Enjoyed the hooting of owls and yipping of coyotes.

Headed out on the Pass Mountain Loop counterclockwise. At the saddle, decided to climb up to the point to see the sunrise. Then decided to improve the view by gaining the neighboring highpoint to the east. Then, before I knew it, I was committed to completing the Peak 3004 ridgeline. Turned out to be more up and down than I recalled from hiking around it in the past. Great views, including a nice "window" on the east side of the ridgeline.

Returned on the Bulldog Saddle Trail.

Saw a tarantula, but he crawled into his burrow before I could get a photo.

Beautiful sunrise and beautiful morning.
