Kelly and John needed help with a shuttle for their backpacking trip on AZT #25. They started from the Doll Baby Trailhead on Friday, while I started from the Pine Trailhead on Saturday. It was a bit brisk, with ice in some of the drainages, but I took off my puffer and hat after a couple of hours.

There was still some color holding on around the Oak Spring area.

I finally ran into Kelly and John where the old AZT alignment meets the new one. After a snack break, we headed toward the Pine Trailhead. We checked out Oak Spring, where there was filterable water and some lingering maple color, before tackling the last big climb of the day.

Afterward, we had lunch at Kelly and John's favorite eatery, then drove back to retrieve John's vehicle at Doll Baby.
