My friend Brian made a side trip to Phoenix from Denver for a few days to see a concert for a band we both like. We had time to kill in the day, so I picked taking a ride up to Mt. Ord on FR626 and do the short hike from the locked gate near the top. Brian hiked the Grand Canyon with me 22 years ago, but a hike that is beyond his skill set these days.

Saw a few other hikers on the drive up and a few along the road up and on the way back. On the ride down @cannondalekid waved me down and we talked for a bit. Weather was cool up there, but not as cold as it was last April. It also wasn't as windy as it was the last 2 times I was there. Views were nice, best choice for a quick short day hike out of the heat for a visitor.
