New Years Eve hike (it’s a special calendar) over near Salt River/Saguaro Lake. Got started around 0830 and meandered west. Some interesting geology at the base of the bluffs, and along parts of the wash. Checked out the oven, then continued in the sandy wash. After a few miles of that, my feet are completely exfoliated.

Finally got some views in the latter half of the loop. The trail was rocky in places once we got out of the sand, but nothing terrible. Got some nice views of the lake, dam, and river again as we finished up the loop. It was nice to have some clouds most of the morning, but it did get warm when the sun peeked out. Good to see all the usual faces, and nice to meet Lindsy. Fun day, and thank you to Bruce and Denny for the invitation!
