| no partners | | Working on the middle section of AZT11 between Sabino Canyon and Romero Pass, finally got it done. Started from the bottom of Sabino Canyon and took the road in, then headed up the trail to the AZT. The road was full of walkers and the trail was also pretty busy for 8am.
got to the AZT and headed up to where I left off 5 weeks ago when I hiked down from Romero Pass. I have a couple more fill in hikes to go to finish off 11 up on the north end, and the dreaded drive up the Catalina Highway.
the rain from the night before had pretty cool temps in the morning and low hanging clouds on the top of Mt. Lemmon. As I ascended the wind picked up a bit and the temperature dropped a bit. I had lunch at my turnaround spot and was surprised that by the time I was done I was getting kind of chilly.
I was contemplating hiking the road back down since it's downhill and asphalt is easier to hike on, but by the time I got to the road I had hiked 18 miles and was tired. I also easily saved an hour of time taking the crawler. I had this hiked planned a few weeks in advance, but the timing with the weather front from the night before worked out very nicely. It was also very interesting taking the shuttle back seeing all the out of state tourists taking in once in a lifetime sights for a place I've been to many times and is just a long drive and a long dayhike for me. Grateful to live in AZ. |
