| partners | | Once more on this old favorite. Done the same as last year as a one way shuttle. Preston was able to complete the entire hike this year, and Brian met us at the Romero Slabs. Lots of rest and breaks made it take longer, but that is more enjoyable.
Trails, both Romero Canyon and Mount Lemmon, remain in excellent condition following the work done a year or two ago. There is some deadfall beginning just before the pass, but that was easy to get around and will be easy to remove if you have the energy and bring a saw. We didn't have the energy.
It was hot down low in the morning after 9, but rather cold above the Sutherland junction. Felt great, until we were near the summit and then it was too cold. Extremes!
Views were great as always. It was a little hazy, but visibility extended to 5024, Table Top, and the usual stuff in between.
Hermit Thrushes have returned! They were calling around sunset as were Robins.
There is still a lot of snow up high along the road, if you're looking for that. It was nice to play with. |
