Started from the Javelina TH at 6am in the dark along the Javelina Canyon Trail to Mormon, then to the National. About a half mile past the junction with Corona de Loma Trail I turned around. On the way back I took the National where I had hiked the Javelina Canyon trail on the way out. Took the Ridgeline Trail until the last climb where I saw a connecting trail to Javelina Canyon that I never hiked before.

It was pretty chilly when I started but warmed up once the sun hit. It seemed kind of really warm in the last part of the National Trail, but along the Ridgeline the breezes cooled me off.
