My favorite loop trail on South Mountain. I arrived at the trailhead parking at 7:15 and there were a few parking spots left. Definitely arrive no later than 7:30 if you want to park.

Perfect weather for hiking. Best hiking day since summer for sure. Clear and sunny, but cool with a light breeze. Took a short break on top of Goat Hill where I had a bottle of Gatorade and an energy bar. Finished the loop in about four hours which is pretty good for me.

The hills are still very green, and there are lots of flowers blooming.
