got an invite from linda and bruce to hike a mostly new area in payson
we met bruce at the trailhead and got going around 0730
cool temps setting out
we got up on the ridgeline, then some off trail over to gibson peak
the part along the fence line was a bushwhack, and pants might have been nice
we wandered around the peak, checking out the views and the rock structure
bruce had a little surprise for us, a very steep drop from a saddle to get back to trail
it wasn't horrible, but i could have done without the bushwhacking - although the vegetation provided something to hang on to
back on trail, we finished the loop
scenic trail system - good trail surface, boulders and pine trees
some huge arizona cypress
enjoyed the sampler, thanks for including me in this one
