| no partners | | Another night hike. This time figured I would go to the Lost Dutchman State Park and figure out a loop when I got there.
Arrived at 10pm, it was still quite windy, but the winds calmed down about 11:30pm.
Ended up doing three loop hikes for a grand total of 8.3 miles. Third loop almost identical to the first loop, but grabbed camera and took some night shots. Here are the three loops I created with sections of hikes listed in order.
Finished up about 2am. A pretty nice night. Lost Dutchman is a great park for night hiking, no crowds and great views.
Spotted a couple of tarantulas and small scorpions.
