| no partners | | Sunrise Peak, which I last hiked with my company hiking club in 2008, has good bang for the short hike buck. In my aging fat guy way, it is part of me "training" to resume day hiking A.T. segments a couple of times a year.
It was 61° when I started at 7:40 a.m. No flowers, other than a single mostly closed up buckhorn, in the lower portions. Gave me sadz.
The climb up the canyon was fully in shade at 8:30. It still had spot shade on my return at 10:30.
There's two steep sections: The head of 136th St. canyon is 20%, and so is the summit climb from the second saddle. Both are short. Initially, I missed the turn at marker SR11.
I spent 30 minutes lurking about the summit. Not many people when I arrived, by the end traffic was increasing. I took a few photos, but failed to take any of the panoramic views.
It was 86° when I finished at 11:10. I headed off to Mickey D's for a Filet-O-Fish meal "deal", and medium Shamrock Shake, that cost me $18! 
The salt did no good either, as I got *really* bad leg cramps back at home. So bad, my wife came upstairs to see if I was dying. (No joke.)

Wildflowers Observation Isolated
The 0.1" of rain a few days before did not help. With heat coming up this week, spring flower season appears over. |
