Another Tuesday, another great day well spent with Addie on our day off!

We started with an early chilly clockwise loop hike up and around Guthrie Peak.
Arrived on top to mostly clear skies that quickly turned nasty & cold when fast low flying clouds engulfed the entire peak. The endless 360 degree views we came for were gone and it became a quick decent to get out of the very cold overcast.
Rest of the hike down (and up) was very scenic, these SE AZ Black Hills are quite unique.

From Guthrie, we traveled a few miles down the Highway to the Black Hills Rockhound Area and completed the lasso loop trail followed by an hour of Fire Agate hunting.

Fun trails, many laughs & a pocket full of rocks = :D

Google Earth showed me that a loop hike could be made up/down Guthrie Peak so today I drove out to give it a try, and it worked out perfectly! Took the service road up to the peak and a Very Rocky old 4x4 road back down. The Black Hills poppy show has died down a bit, but there were still a lot of good patches along this trail. The only problem today though was that it was very cloudy and cold which had all the poppies rolled up and acting shy :cry:

The endless 360 views on top were excellent, the wind for the first time in a week was calm & finding a route to loop this peak made for a day well spent!
