Headed out bright and early from the Carney Springs TH with a group of seven hikers of varying age and experience, eager for a challenging hike. Morning went along smoothly, and we found a nice place for lunch amongst the hoodoos, with a view of the SE Valley on one hand and the Superstition wilderness on the other. Afternoon - well, our leader had scouted out both ends of the trail ahead of time, but not the middle, and that's the part that kicked our butts. We wound up top of Flatiron at sunset, and descended Siphon Draw in the dark. With the crickets and the owl calls, the lights of the Valley shimmering in the distance and the stars overhead, it would've been beautiful if we hadn't all run out of water by then. Blessings on the person who cached a coolerful of sports drinks in their car! Mileage is from GPS.
