| no partners | | | Monday hike with Christina. I've been wanting to hike the ridgeline since I first hiked out here in September of 2015! It's never too late and today is the DAY! Woo hoo! Perfect temps. Holiday lite traffic. Plenty of parking at Dreamy Draw when I arrived. So nice. There was a group of like 20 unicyclists prepping to head out on the trails. I chatted for a bit with the guy parked aside of me who was visiting from California. He said this group gets together this time every year in AZ. They hit South Mountain, Sedona, and PMP today. Christina and I headed out through the tunnel on traill 100 under the AZ51 which had a big muddy spot right in the middle, eww. Did the Mercury Mine Loop counter clockwise. And broke off northbound to the Fenceline trail. Followed that and turned pretty much straight up the mountain, a little sketchy at spots. I was getting worried about what the trail back down looked like as we approached the summit. To my surprise, there was another hiker coming up that way, that's a good sign for sure! Chatted with him for a bit until we went our separate ways. Continued on the ridgeline trail to the southwest. Spectacular! Followed the trail along the base of the mountain back to trail 100 and the tunnel back to Dream Draw. What a great President's Day! |
