This was a repeat of a family hike with Mrs OH, my Daughter and her family that we took back in July 2017. A few things have changed. My three Grandkids are now teenagers with the oldest in college, I'm finding it harder to keep up with them, and the lolly-pop stick part of the hike has been moved to the bottom of the ski slope to make room for construction. I didn't check to see what was being constructed.

The summer monsoon rains have made the hillsides lush with tall grass and flowers so it was a scenic hike as usual for this time of year. We made it back to the car at noon just as the daily thunderstorm starting raining on us. This pattern of early afternoon thunder and rain would continue for the 3 days we were in the Flagstaff area.
