linda invited me to hike rincon peak
it's been seven years since we did this as a group hike
we left town early and were on the trail around 0725
temps in 60s, full sun going up the east slope to the ridge
got to practice on a few creek crossings, nice to still see that much water
took a quick break at happy valley
nice spot with plenty of shade
continued on to the peak
some deadfall to climb over and a few loose spots
that last mile is steep
took a longer break at the summit
nice big granite area up top with great views
the descent went better than i remembered from last time
saw just two people, a couple of forest service employees backpacking
love this hike, along with most any sky island peak
really enjoy the terrain and the granite
my biggest hike so far this year
thank you for the invite, linda - great hike!
