Neither one of us has hiked in the Supes recently, so it was time. We did a clockwise variation of the Marsh Valley loop ascending Black Top Mesa for extra credit.
A bit chilly at the start. Some frost here and there. Things warmed up after an hour or so resulting in excellent conditions for hiking.
Trails are in pretty good shape. Less vegetation than expected. Still damp from the rain last week.
The scenery is always good here, Black Top Mesa topping things off with great views all around.
We didn't see many people and no horses, just lots of reminders they frequent the trails.
Fun hike. Thanks gecko!
