Got started at 0700. Already hot. My first time at this trailhead in just over three months. I didn’t miss it. Noticed they built a new trailhead a little farther west, just past the bridge, but the gate is still closed. It’s not really any bigger or better.

Up Lost Mine. Lots of recently downed saguaros, as usual. Several more are leaning past the point of no return. No breeze until I reached National. West on National. Down Ruins. Lost the breeze again. Hot. Muggy. Besides the brown creosote, and faded palo verdes, lots of trees were surprisingly green.

Walked thru the new trailhead as I was finishing. The trail to it is mostly the original alignment of Pyramid that was in use roughly 12-15 years ago, they just cleared it back off again. Finished up just after 0900. Glad to be done. Four weeks until I can escape again.
