I missed last week and haven't done much of anything for a couple of weeks so I was looking at something with a few miles but not too taxing. This was the ticket.

This was a nice long meander in the desert. Easy going throughout with some nice views along the way. I deviated slightly from this guide, adding Willow Springs Tank and the RnR Willow Springs Crossover trails to make a longer loop. I also added the Anniversary Arch Loop, which I had hiked with @CannondaleKid a few years ago, and which I found just as enjoyable on this trip.

I saw just four other hikers on the day, most near the trailhead. The weather was perfect while I was out there (12:30 to 4:30). This hike was most enjoyable and not difficult, but I underestimated the effect of 20,000 plus steps in a remote area. I was whooped at the end and sore the next day. Good day to be out though.
