| no partners | | Stayed overnight in Pima, so that we could get an early start on the trail. Ended up having a later dinner at The Plank (amazing sandwiches), then on the road after 7am. Shredded a tire on the bumpy road just a couple miles before we arrived. Anyway, close to 10am by the time we started hiking. So much for the early start.
The maples did not disappoint and just got better the further we hiked. Made it to the aspen at the bottom of the switchbacks. The aspen were at their peak color with a lot of leaves already on the ground. The maples in this area are also at peak which made for some great color photos.
Saw a herd of antelope on the way in and, the same bunch on our way out. That is one fast animal. Exhilarating to watch them run. Ended up at the Copper Steer that night for filet, lobster and ribs. Nice finish to the day. |

Aspen are at peak. Maples still have a lot of room in the lower part of the hike, and are at peak color near the upper section before the switchbacks. |
