| partners | | chumley and 9L hadn't hiked elephant head so we needed to fix that
took my car to trailhead
the road is in great condition for a 2wd hc vehicle
did this one five years ago with john and jj and really liked it
set out around 0830 with temps in low 30s
warmed up nicely once we got in the sun
the drop down into chino canyon is steep, but better trail than i remember from last time
a corresponding climb out, then west to the base of the peak
a fun scramble to the top
john led since he's been up there several times
took a break on top and enjoyed a snack and the views
headed down and down
water in chino canyon with a layer of ice on top
kind of a grind back up, but then good trail over to the little elephant head turnoff
a mile of a more moderate ascent to the summit, where we again took in the views and some snacks
mostly downhill from there to the trailhead
not easy, but a really fun hike
pretty sure everyone enjoyed this one
saw just two people all day
stopped for street tacos in tucson
nice to see john9l again
thanks guys - had a great time
