This hike ended up being another Man vs. Wild trip. I questioned my plans more than once along the way. Not knowing what would be at the top made me wonder if it was really going to be worth the effort. That is always the risk an explorer takes. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. I truly love hiking into the unknown were few have been. The mystery of what I will find keeps pushing me forward. Hiking Apache Peaks is something I have wanted to do for many years. It was time to stop thinking about it and actually do it. I am so glad that I finally completed this hike. Call it "personal accomplishment". Although the hike was somewhat of a battle, I don't regret it one bit. The views were amazing. The way that the summit sits elevated above the mountain range offers amazing perspective and depth. I would have liked for the air quality to be better on the day of my trip. The haze unfortunately limited long distance visibility. Oh well... I can't have everything. The temps were absolutely perfect for a challenging hike, the sun shined during my time at the summit for photography, and I had shade from late day cloud cover all the way back to the truck. It does not get much better than that. God showed me favor that day. It was a blessed day of hiking.
