After some indecision, I decided to hike Pyramid Trail to work out the old legs. Trail marker posts have been updated, and The beginning of the trail now seems to be called the Bursera Trail, not the Pyramid Trail. I guess that's ok. Seems like an odd choice from the Bursera trailhead. But what is even stranger is that there are no signs or markers for the Pyramid trail at all on the updated posts. The new markers have Lost Ranch, Bursera, and Cholla Flats Loop, but no Pyramid. Huh. Almost a mile in was the old, not updated signs for Pyramid.
Wildflowers were everywhere. Lots of butterflies too. There were also those black beetles and red flying bugs. A couple of hikers who got to the top just after I did saw a large swarm of bees cross the trail. They were a little freaked out by that but unscathed.
There was still sun when I got back to the bottom so I turned around and went up again to make it a real workout. Sun had set when I got back down the second time and it was dark when I got to the car. A perfect way to end a day. |
