Headed out of town a little before sunlight and we were at the trailhead around 9am. Bassett always scores high on my list of favorite hikes but especially during this time of year. Just a great hike and when you add in the Fall colors it is a solid 10 in my book.

The colors this year made a solid showing and are close to in their prime. If you are considering making the trip I suggest you go soon as they will probably be gone in a week or so. It was nice to see leaves still on the aspens and some color up in that canyon as well. I continued on to the top and met Jane and Company from Tucson. After having a nice chat with them and showing them where the plane crash was I cruised back down and met back up with Joe. Many of the colors on the way down were even better than on the way up.

We grabbed some tacos in Tucson on that way home and were back in Phoenix a little after 7:00pm. Solid day!
