After visiting the border wall in the morning we went northbound on the AZT and hiked Miller Peak. The trail is southern exposure so we didn’t have much snow until we hit a few north slopes and above 8,000. We also brought micro spikes but we didn’t put them on until the turn off with for Miller Peak about ½ mile from the summit. There were some icy spots on the switchbacks to the summit so we were definitely glad we brought the spikes. Unfortunately it was so windy and cold we only spent about 3 minutes on the summit long enough to take a few pictures.

Hike back down was nice and we found good spot out of the wind for a break. In the afternoon some clouds rolled in and made for some good scenery pics. There was also some trail maintenance done recently so about half the trail has been cleared and made for easy hiking. Good day all around!
