| no partners | | Not as early as I would have liked, but it turned out the timing couldn’t be much better. Got to the Adero TH around 6am. In time to catch a mini “sprinkle storm”. There’s nothing like the smell of a gently soaked desert. Add to that a steady breeze to start the hike it was almost magical. Perhaps I’m being a bit overly dramatic, but days like this are few and far between which make them all the more special. Also, was fortunate to catch a rainbow that last all of five minutes. It actually started in Adero Canyon and I could see where it started from. Took the Alt. up to the Andrew-Kinsey and then continued on up to Sunrise Peak. The weather was ideal for the first hour, but by 7am the sun was coming out from behind the clouds, the breeze died down and there was a noticeable increase in humidity. Briefly enjoyed the views at the peak before descending via the eastern leg and then looping back on the Sunrise Trail (basically doing a mini loop below Sunrise Peak) to reconnect to the Andrew-Kinsey.
Really enjoyed today’s hike, especially early on. No wildlife today, but quite a few hikers. Encountered 26 hikers and two joggers. |
