| partners | | I got an invite from John10s to join in on a hike to Lime and Sunset Peaks. Mostly off trail with 4200+ ft of gain spells workout. Bruce and Linda joined in as well.
We got going pretty early considering the long drive. Nice and cool with the sun hitting the peaks as we began our hike.
The going gets tougher the further you go on this hike. Just getting up to Lime is a workout in itself. Sunset adds another level of steep, and trying to keep up with 10s kicked my arse.
John and I enjoyed a nice long break on the summit of Sunset, also checking out the ruins in the area.
The descent was no faster than the ascent. Steep and loose. Once we got back to Lime Peak we watered up and set off to catch Linda and Bruce who were already on their way down hill.
We all trudged together through the last few miles of cactus, brush, and rocks to make it back to Linda's Jeep.
Nearby Horseshoe Dam was next. Refreshing under there.
Excellent but tough hike. Fun group. Thanks for the invite John, and thanks for driving Linda.  |
