Met up with Matt at the Wild Burro TH at 0700 and got hiking right away. Cloudy, but warmish, and no breeze. Made the large loop clockwise, with a side trip to Peak 4416. That was a scramble up large granite boulders following a cairned route. One short section of the descent made me butt scoot since I didn’t like the steep angle of the rock. Grippy though.

Some filtered sun as the day progressed, but a decent breeze on the higher ridges. Had lunch near the windmill/water tank/corral area. A leftover American Wagyu ribeye from last night made for an excellent lunch.

The Wild Burro Loop Trail and the Ridgeline Trail are probably my favorite part of this loop. Alamo Springs Trail was a little rockier than I remembered. Only saw a handful of hikers, mostly near the trailhead. A few rabbits, a squirrel, and some deer prints. Nice day, happy to get some good mileage, and always good to see Matt again!
