| no partners | | This was my 4th day of day of a 4-day trip day hiking wilderness areas in western AZ. I had planned a climb all the way to the summit of Mt. Wilson. I drove all the way to the trailhead in my Jeep Cherokee. That road is definitely 4x4. Put it in rear locker a few times on the road.
When I arrived at the trailhead the night before my hike, it was pretty windy, something I hadn’t anticipated. I checked the forecast for the next day. Not good; I wouldn’t be summiting tomorrow. In the morning, I checked again, barely tolerable at first light, and it was forecast to go to steady 30 mph by 10 am, and possibly higher by the afternoon.
I headed up the ridge until the sun just started hitting the faraway peaks, and sat and took pictures until I got too cold. Then it was back to the car, and back to Phoenix. |
