| partners | | We started this one in a gale force drizzle and 40ish degrees. The rain lasted only a 1/2 hour to 45 minutes, but the gale force winds relented most of the day. It was not too bad when it was at our backs. I usually like to take my time and take in the views on top of peaks, but today it was snap a shot and find a wind break.
On top of Monument Mountain, you needed to create a wide base or risk being blown over.
Coming off Monument we found Fliver Frustrum #25 (again). It would be easy to walk past with the growth.
Working our way down Grapevine Mesa we kicked up some White Tails.
We took a break at the end of Grapevine mesa before dropping into Magazine Canyon.
For all the windy weather BS, ankle buster rocks and prickly pokey stuff, the views really are top notch. There appear to be many opportunities farther west with all the peaks in the New River Mountains. The highpoint of 5936 has been on my radar for some time.
After the hike we took the 4 mile drive to the top of Humboldt Mountain. It was 55 degrees when we left FR24 and a breezy 46 degrees at the top. |
