Spent the weekend in the Chiricahua Mountains. Great hike on the Crest Trail starting from Long Park trailhead near Rustler Park and heading southbound towards Flys and Chiricahua Peaks. Open trail with great views from past fires and minimal uphill.

We hit Flys Peaks first and took a nice break on top. As are most of the peaks in the area not much of a view but still a summit. After the break we continued towards Chiricahua Peak on the Crest Trail. Another nice stretch of crest trail but the winds picked up with strong gusts. Otherwise it was a pleasant summit at Chiricahua Peak where we took another break.

We took a somewhat off trail route of the peak before connecting back into trail and rejoining the Crest Trail. On the way back 9L and Chumley decided to hike back to Rustler Park while Kathy and I returned to Long Park shorting the hike by a few miles. We met back at Rustler Park to call it a day and great hike!
