Started from the Pima Canyon TH and took the Marcos de Niza Trail over to Young Man, and came back on the Desert Classic. then I did another loop up Pima Canyon and back on Pima Wash Trail. Lot was full when I got there so I had to park on the road. Early start and clouds kept the temperature cooler for the ascent on Marcos de Niza. It started to heat up a bit on the Desert Classic, but it's level so it wasn't a big deal. Lot of hikers at first on Marcos de Niza, then no one on Young Man. Desert Classic had more bikers than hikers. Sounded like a domestic incident was happening in one of the homes by the Desert Classic. on the way back on Pima Wash everyone was gone. Empty lot and road when I got back to the car.
