Ahh, had been on immediate to do list for many years. Longer than any others. Slim season and finding others willing has gotten in the way. Met in Scottsdale at 7:30. These drives are getting shorter.

Pass marked TH for lil pull out a bit further N. Near hwy early in the hike. Then starts getting steeper and away from road noise. Had considered driving up to do in rev. Nope, my 4X4 would never have made it. So what is this Tacoma doing out here?? Oh, he's already damaged it. We warned him further repairs coming if he continues.

Only saw one other pair of hikers who were training for the canyon. Judging by all the beer cans at the TH, apparently hiking is not at the top of the list here. Felt a bit easier than the stats would indicate. Temps were perf.
