| partners | | With the heat, I hadn't hiked in a couple of weeks, so S and I headed south to the Mt. Graham area on Sunday. The first stop was to hike a portion of the Clark Peak Trail. Hiked a couple of miles to where it drops into a fern meadow. Decided to stop there as the next section was a 1,100-foot descent down to Taylor Pass, and we did not feel like dropping down just to climb back up again. Had lunch there in the shade and started back. The way back was a hot grind uphill, especially the initial portion without any cover. The heat and higher elevation took a toll, causing me to overheat and get lightheaded, so I had to cool off in the shade for a bit before making it back to the TH. Made it back to the car and with the AC cranked, felt much better. We made a quick stop at Riggs Flat Lake before stopping at the Soldier Creek Campground for a quick hike down to the Ice Caves. Besides the slight case of heat exhaustion, it was good to get back out to the Pinalenos.Thanks S, for joining me for the long drive.  |
