Glyphs n Snags
Chilly to start. At the waterfall, we bought two tickets to the easy lure of canyon travel. I know the route is creekside upper-right. Back on track is remarkable off-trail trail maintenance including a slot tunnel through Jojoba. The ascent is butter.

Ridgeline to Sisters
Enjoyed a long lunch at the rock cathedral. En route, we crossed paths with @Pickles, exchanged smiles, and the secret RS passphrase.

Over to West Boulder
Fun chatting with a fit grandpa having a field day. Heading out of the origin of Boulder Creek we managed to hike in a circle due to a cairned shortcut. Then hiked a slightly lower route than desired.

Large pools of water down in West Boulder Creek out towards Willow Spring. The yellow daycite tide rolled in surfing ankle busters down to Carney.

Cave Explorers - Ground Zero
Apps, arrows, flags, and runway lights will never help. Folks in new or uneasy circumstances get chatty. Bring a lawn chair, direct traffic, and socialize to your heart's desire.

A classic 3:30 p.m. "Good morning!". You put out a vibe to 30 million chicks, something is going to happen.

Chaka Khan
The route to Shaka Cave is pretty spectacular in the afternoon light on the saguaros and the cliff walls.

1,000 Crursed Ravines
Along Lost Goldmine Trail is semi-pleasant in the afternoon shade of Turk's Head. The desert scenery, saguaro's and all is prime now all greened up. The ankle busters and washboard ravines fade out to the largest ravine crossed up to Hieroglyphic Trailhead.
