Chris and I opted for Wrightson as his last hike before officially moving out of AZ. Got to the trailhead around 0630 and headed up Super Trail. All shade up to Josephine Saddle. Then mostly shaded up to Baldy Saddle. The trailwork from this past spring has held up well.

Took a snack break at the saddle, then headed up to the summit. Breezy, and the cool temps felt nice. Sat around for a few minutes, then headed back down. Stayed on Old Baldy trail the entire way back to the trailhead. The spring trailwork on Old Baldy, below Josephine Saddle, has not held up as well. It was very smooth at the beginning of May, more chewed up now, but still a lot better than before. Warm for the final 1.50 miles.

Didn’t see as many hikers as I expected, but no complaints about that.
