My dad suggested going from west to east, volunteering the shuttle, so why not? Josephine Peak and the complete upper Super Trail plus were added on a whim after pausing at the Wrightson summit for a bit. Every trail today was in great shape, even the more wild east Gardner Canyon side. Josephine is a scrappy, not really a gimme peak with some annoying bushwhacking. There were a few fresh bear turds near the summit and of course, a bunch of ladybugs. My descent was better than the ascent route. Only one other hiker today drew my attention after passing her the second time on the Super Trail. She was training for a fifty mile ultra distance and suggested she was doing Wrightson twice today. I wished her luck for her fourth try on completing a fifty and we went on our ways. The Santa Rita may be somewhat over hyped, but understand now why Tucsonans enjoy and love it.
