Started from Warpaint around 1745. Hot as we ascended Corona, but the sun had gone down, so I didn’t cry too much. At the parking lot, we headed over to the lookout off Geronimo before resuming the loop. Chumley tried to kill me on a couple of uphill sections. Corona East has a lot of loose rock, so coming down in the dark slows things down a bit. A hiker said he saw a snake as we passed by him near the trailhead, but we didn’t see it. New signs at the trailhead have a mostly updated trail map. Young Man and Devastator trails are now official and have new names, and Marcos De Niza now seems to extend along Guadalupe Ridge to the junction of what used to be Young Man. Good workout hike.

Started from Warpaint on the renamed Kash Patel trail or whatever it's called now before cutting over to Corona and up the hill. Up top we headed out to the viewpoint on the ridge above whatever Geronimo is called now, about half a mile past the Buena Vista bench. It was a pleasure to tourguide Linda to a spot on SoMo that she hadn't been to before! :o

Headed back down via Old Man, which was steep and rocky. My 2025 remains rattlesnake free, which is a surprise, and the snake whisperer didn't deliver as I would have expected.

Nice sky colors and air quality views across the valley. Rain has given some life to the mountain. The Ocotillos are loaded with green leaves and the bursera looking super healthy. A couple of barrels were even sprouting flowers!

Kelly thought we had been avoiding Old Man's trail, so off we went. Up Geronimo, down Corona de Loma, Up Ols Man, and back down Geronimo. Good workout.
Refreshments and breakfast with the gecko clan after. Thanks Kelly! :)

Trail wasn't crowded. No one was on Corona but people were in the flats. Near perfect weather. I did some exploring up top. I think there are some good areas to find snakes when it warms up.

Started from the Warpaint trailhead. Saw two javelina as I hiked towards the Old Man trail.
Hiked up Old Man, west on National down and up Geronimo, west to the Gila Valley Lookout, and down Corona de Loma.
A couple new sections of trail have been built on Corona making it easier for MTBs to negotiate. A lot of work for very little gain IMO.
Didn't see anyone until I was almost down Corona.
Nice and cool out. Somo got a little rain last night. Spotty though.
Good workout. :)

Squeezed in a hike with Daniela before I escape AZ again. Met at Warpaint at 0800 and headed up Corona East. So much hotter than I would like. I hated it. But up we went. No breeze. Too much sunlight.

West on National, then down Corona. Looked like some trailwork had been done on Corona sometime since I was last on it. Still atrociously hot, but at least we were going downhill. Only saw one other hiker all day, and a handful of bikes. Good to see Daniela again. Hopefully the weather will be more reasonable when I get back to AZ in four weeks.

Kelly suggested this addition to the south mountain senior summer series.
Seemed a hair dryer than it has been (pun intended).
Old Man turns you into an old man. Good workout.
Nice outing. Thanks Kelly. :)

Kelly suggested this hike, adding Gila Valley Lookout to the Corona Loop.
We got an early start and were finished before the heat set in.
Saw john 10s on the National. Nice to finally meet you!
