| partners | | Got Andy to hike with me for the first time since Wally and I broke him on the AZT on Mt. Lemmon. He did a major hike last week, so I figured he could handle this area.
We started very early and headed up Whiskey Bottle Trail, then took Watershed to Branding Iron, south on the Granite Mt. Loop. Along the way we took detours to check out The Amphitheater and then Balanced Rock, which needed straightened  .
Finished up the loop going to the Powerline Trail and then headed back on the Black Hills Trail.
Very cool to start early on, but the last hour or so it got a bit warm. There were one or two breezes later on, but I would not categorize them as cool. Nice to hike with Andy again and get in a decent hike at this time of year without heat exhaustion. |
