This is a close to home favorite. CCW lasso loop starting from the P.A. Seitts TH @6:30. Cathy wanted to try this again after almost 2 years of absence. This was the longest hike she has attempted since her transplant. Mornings are tough for her in the way of energy but she got it done.

Her blood type hasn't switched over completely yet so her red blood cells aren't delivering oxygen to the muscles properly.

Late afternoon hikes seem to be better for now she thinks.

The weather was perfect. A nice breeze was icing on the cake. We saw a handful of other hikers and the largest jackrabbit either of us had ever seen...almost got a photo. We stopped at the high point for some ZipFizz and some of those Costco dried tangerines. Dang, those are good. @tibber gave me some earlier this year on a hike in Sedona and I now have a $30.00 a week habit. Thanks Angela.

The desert was green and lush. The recent rain did some damage to the trails but the lack of dust and the wonderful smell of petrichor made up for it. Later this week or sometime soon I would like to do the 7 mile extended version of this hike by adding part of the Go John Trail into the mix. Very pretty up here right now.
