We did not intend to hike ridgeline but rather set out to do Mormon trail through fat man's Pass and the hidden valley. Victoria was joining me (a rarity in the summer) and so we opted for a more fun trail option. Unfortunately, the city of Phoenix had other plans. They had closed the gate to the parking lot and had signs up saying the trail was closed doe to heat. Except it was before 9 am and there was no heat advisory in effect that day. There were still a few cars in the parking lot so they must have just recently closed the trail. This was really annoying, not only was it early and not hot yet but they were not even following their own rules for closing trails during heat advisory's.
Annoyed that our preferred trail was closed but undeterred in our search for a workout hike, we headed east to BAE systems and found that they had not closed the trailhead for ridgeline trail. It seems the Phoenix Park Rangers are consistently inconsistent in their enforcement of rules. So we parked up and did Ridgeline instead. It wasn't as pretty but was easy enough for Victoria.
The hike itself was good, it was completely empty and we got a good workout in. |
