I decided to head over to the Lost Dog Wash TH and hike up to Sunrise Peak. When I got back down to the hitching post, instead of going directly back to the TH, I continued over to the Fountain Hills Preserve and hiked up to Peak 3098, aka the West View Overlook, before heading back to the Lost Dog Wash TH.

It was an enjoyable day out -- the weather was sunny, cool, and crisp with a bit of a breeze; basically a nice winter day. The mountains in the Mazzies and Supes were snow-capped, which made for some nice scenery.

There is getting ready to be a nice wildflower show in the McDowells I think.

Wildflowers Observation Isolated
I saw some chuparosa blooming in several places. A few Dichelostemma capitatum and poppies were blooming, along with a couple of lupine and one brittle bush. There should be a good showing of brittle bush in a few days.
