| partners | | saturday's hike was tanque verde peak and ridge
we got going around 0530 from the picnic area
steady uphill from the beginning
moderate grade on good trail for about four or five miles, then some rolling hills on an easier grade until a steeper approach to the peak
good trail and scenic terrain the entire hike
we went up to the peak and took a short break
back at the ridge trail, we decided to go on to cow head saddle
more of a drop than we thought there might be, and coming back up from there was a bit of a grind
that left nine miles mostly downhill, with three or four little uphills on the return
took a snack break at around fifteen miles once we ditched the gnats and found some shade
long day with a good helping of elevation gain - my biggest hike of the year so far
the hike was more difficult due to temps in the nineties and the extra aeg from cow head saddle
really liked tanque verde peak
great views of the surrounding mountains from the ridgeline
even though dry, lots of vegetation
saw a few deer and an eastern collared lizard
finished up around 1330 and spent some time rehydrating with ice water and na beers 
great choice, john, thanks!
