linda suggested barry goldwater peak for our hike today
we got going around 0800
a flock of seniors in the parking lot that we raced to get ahead of
cool temps but soon shed a layer going uphill
mesquite to goat camp, then the off trail and road to the summit
i don't remember the use trail being so wide, clear and easy to follow
windy at the summit
had snacks and enjoyed the views of surrounding mountains
two guys up top "working" = stranger danger
back down and then north to ford canyon
usually go up, this was just the second time i've descended
one little downslide to avoid water
finished up on waddell
a peak and a solid hike in a park i don't visit very often
good choice linda, very enjoyable hike
