Opted to hike Saddle Mtn with Celina. Started later than planned (not my fault), the hike itself took about 90 minutes longer than anticipated (not my fault), then hit traffic on the way back home due to running late (not my fault). Trail is fairly distinct/cairned, even on the scramble above the saddle. Seems like two separate routes have formed in places above the saddle, but neither one is necessarily better than the other. Great views along the rim, which is my favorite part of the hike. Very warm, no clouds, occasional nice breeze. Wildflowers must have been nice a few weeks ago, but today was mostly foxtails. Saw nobody else except for a sketchy guy who was parked at the trailhead when we arrived. He looked annoyed at our presence and moved his truck a few hundred feet down the road, was still sitting in his truck when we finished. Strange.
