| no partners | | I hiked this well-maintained trail with Brian and Tim on the day of the eclipse. Ihe temps were cool with a high in the low 60s. We looked for the eclipse between 11 am and 11:30 am and did not see any noticeable difference in the brightness of the sky. Brian and Tim said they noticed a SLIGHT difference. I didn't notice anything.
We probably spent 9.5 miles on the well-maintained AZ trail, and the remaining 2.8 miles doing an open country hike to the benchmark. We don't remember seeing any cactus the entire way.
If you follow my route, the most direct way to reach this summit is to take the well-maintained AZ trail for 5.2 miles. The peak will be North/Northeast from this point. The ridge on the South side of the peak is a great way to get up there and it isn't too steep. Nothing above class 2. We basically took this ridge on the way down. On the way up, we exited the AZT early and took a more indirect route up, having our lunch on a peak that appeared to have an elevation of 6207 feet. This peak appeared to have roughly the same height as our final destination. Perhaps I will mark it as a provisional peak.
