It was 54°. Normally a good hiking temp, but it was so windy I wore a hoodie.

LDWT had a decent surface, and a steady stream of hikers. I was surprised, wasn't expecting that. Some nice saguaro.

The "overlook" is misnamed: Taliesin is too far away (1 mile). Nice vista though. I thought I could follow the contour closer, but side-sloping was such slow progress, that I turned around after 1/4 mile.

Old Jeep was broken & rocky, but more up & down. Not nearly as many nice saguaro.

Don't really remember much about Ringtail.
