| no partners | | | I wanted to do about 8 miles today and had a route on the west side of the Hawes Trails in mind, but when I arrived at the paved parking lot is was full. Now what, I thought. I drove around the bend to another parking spot and consulted my map, and pieced together a five mile route, much shorter than I wanted. The thought then struck me that I was getting kinda burned out on these trails, and maybe I should just go somewhere else. Nah, I decided to stick with it. Headed up the mineshaft trail for a little cardio (lots of flowers here), then down Saguaro Trail and onto Saddle Trail. Along the way, I decided to start following a wash and that led me to some great fields of wildflowers. I cross country and found myself in another wash and followed that upstream. I had wanted to explore up this wash anyway, so I followed it until it became too much of a pain to push through. I ascended a ridge and followed that for a while until I intersected a new trail I'd never walked before (Boulderdash). Lots of wildflowers on the rockier slopes. Turned out to be a great walk after all. |
