Linda put together this loop to hit up Bluff Spring Mountain. I'd never been up top of that one, so I was all in.

It was a coolish cloudy start, but the 550' climb in .6 mile got us warmed up quickly. Water was flowing everywhere out there.

Shortly after the intersection with Terrapin, we stopped to contemplate our route up to the top of Bluff Spring Mountain. As we were jabbering, I noticed a whitetail on the move. It actually took the exact route up to the top, that we did. The climb up was pretty straight forward.

We had an extended break up top. Great views west to the ridgeline and points east. Views toward Tucson were limited, because of the haze down there.

Down Ely-Anderson and out on Kelly's favorite, the Dutchman to complete the loop.

Nice to be back in the Supes, with near perfect weather.
