A cold moist and overcast day for this loop hike in the eastern Ritas. Some people enjoy that, but it was quite cold. Ironically, at least 2 of us considered postponing a day, but neither of us followed through on the thought. The forecast did claim it would be nice by noon. Somehow, it got worse.

We lacked the time and motivation to hike the Gardner Canyon Trail uphill to the Super Trail. The upper sections near the Super Trail is probably the most scenic section of trail.

Not a bad little loop, though the drive to get you there is more than would be ideal to access it. Excellent views of Josephine, Wrightson, the crest all the way to Florida Peak.
