| no partners | | This was my 5th short hike of the day, for a total of something like 6 miles.
At the trailhead, I met a nice young couple who wanted to know where "A" mountain was. I gave them directions and told them to watch out for the BEES which I had a bad experience with near the top of the letter "A" last weekend!!
I have hiked Sentinel peak a few times but never stopped at this area and didn't know there was anything here. I found a nicely maintained trail that went to the top.
Along the trail, I saw a mural on a wall with some nice artwork. The artwork talked about saving the saguaros and had captions in English, Spanish, and an Indian language. Unfortunately, a few idiots chose to put graffiti on this wall which just looks like CRAP. The dumb A-holes that do this need to be locked up, fined, and forced to do community service or trash pickup. Then, maybe the lame brains with think twice about vandalizing public property.
At the summit, I found a bench which also had some more graffiti. It was obvious that the morons who did this have a REAL LOW IQ. They can't even spell simple words right. They probably will never own property or be responsible for anything in their entire life. Sad!!
Anyway, there were some nice views from the top.

Driving Directions:
--------------------
set Google maps to Sentinel Peak Park ("A" mountain), but you won't go all the way to the top.
Along the drive, about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way up, you will see a parking pullout on the right side. Park here.
Google does not show an address here, so here's the GPS location of the parking lot:
