| no partners | | We went counterclockwise. Surprisingly more trail than I thought there would be. We missed the turnoff for the trail but once we were on it, it was pretty obvious where the trail went and plenty of cairns to even more so help find the route. The sun was blocking some of the view on the way up but surprisingly my photos didn't turn out so bad. The "crag" was pretty easy and I had to use my hands on just 1 move.
The peak has pretty fantastic views of Mount Kimball and some gigantic domes of rock below it. Also going this way hid Mount Lemmon until we got to the top. Going to the saddle there was a trail and a few oaks that were nice. From there, there was some resemblance of a trail that faded out into grass. We eventually made it downhill to the spring where we investigated where it was, etc. I found a shell there. From the spring, the trail appeared again and was iffy for some distance until it started going more downhill again. Now the trail was even more defined than going up and cairns weren't needed.
Cool hike and not super tiring. |
