I don’t get back to Hidden Valley very often, but it seems like the spiderweb of trails is growing. Took the National back down to the Pima Wash Trail. Heard a coyote barking in the background. Funny, it was only for a few seconds, but I could see all the people below me stop and listen. I did the same thing. Love the sound of coyotes. One of the potential rewards for early morning hikes. Noticed what looked to be a recent rockslide just to the south of the National. Seemed like an odd occurrence. Wonder if it had some human assistance. From one angle it looked like the newly exposed surface had been graffiti. 
Took the Pima Wash Trail back to the Beverly/Pima connector. The wash was definitely the way to go. Easily avoided 30 hikers, bikers and runners who were utilizing the road. That being said, I still encountered over 80 users on the trails. Lot of people out early, trying to beat the heat. 
No wildlife, except for the brief song of the coyote.
