Linda and I met at Desert Foothills at 7:45AM and headed up to Telegraph Pass, once again entering the side of South Mountain I rarely visit. I think this made it five hikes from four different SoMo Trailheads in the past 10 days for me, several of those in the foreign lands of the west side...not bad :). We looped clockwise on National with a stop at the old lookout, and Linda shared her knowledge of SoMo history and off-trail points of interest that I've passed many times but never noticed, so it was educational in addition to being a beautiful morning to spend outside.

It stayed mostly sunny throughout, but it was in the 60s when we started and low/mid-70s at the end...days like this are numbered as summer approaches. I'd been on at least parts of all these trails before, but it had been years for some, and the helipad was a new stop for me as we looped back on Desert Classic and Guadalupe Perimeter. Didn't see even a single fireman, but I noticed the first saguaro blooms of the season earlier this week, and there were a lot more out there today. Nice hike, fun morning and conversation--thanks, Linda, for setting this up!
