| no partners | | Another dark hike up this amazing trail for some Milky Way shots. A photographer friend of mine invited me to come along and I was definitely "in".
It was still pretty toasty when we started up at 9pm, but a nice sustained breeze kept the heat away. Nothing new to report on this trail as it's been the same for a long time. I was hoping to see some critters, but only a small bull snake made an appearance on the way back. I have had luck in the past seeing rattlers and tarantulas on night hikes up here.
The first view point was nice, but the MW had not yet cleared the horizon, so we kept going to the second view area for photos. The skies were cloudless, but the high winds made for a little haziness. Plus, it seems every plane in Arizona decided to fly over the Superstitions every time I started a long exposure.
We got in our shots and headed back down right before midnight. A nice visit to one of my favorite trails. |
