| no partners | | A quick sunrise hike to my favorite little mountain/hill. I started up in the dark and it was cold! Well, cold for this desert-dweller, at least. I had my headlamp on, but didn't need it as the glaring lights from the shooting range illuminated the entire mountain all the way up.
I made it up in 35 minutes, not my fastest time, but not my slowest either. I had a bunch of camera gear and my larger thermos full of coffee (NOT a pink Stanley, btw). The cloudless skies were what I expected, but I know AZ always provides some pre-dawn colors. Must be all that dust blowing around?
I had the place to myself for most of my stay. A solo hiker came up right after the sun cleared the mountain and headed back down. I came across him on the way down as he was doing a 2x hike. I met a group of lady hikers as I was heading down. Other than that, it was a nice peaceful and solitary sunrise.
I really like this hike. It's close to my house, offers some good cardio exercise and has 360 views. I got my photos and exercise in and made it home to start working on the never-ending HoneyDo list that my lovely wife has been curating for almost 20 years now. |
