HAZ tells me that I have hiked only 28 of the 41 named trails in South Mountain Preserve. I know the names of maybe 5 of them. Apparently I don't know the names of any of the trailheads. Sorry.

This was my inaugural visit to the new(ish) Gila Valley Lookout trail. It's not a dirt lot full of broken glass up there anymore!

Linda took the lead on the route up a fun little canyon with some light scrambling. Yay!

We returned on Corona and got to see some aggressive new trail work. It was pleasant in the shade but there's not much of that. It was good to hit the trails with Gecko again and thanks to Linda for guiding.
