Another evening hike with HAZ’s most blocked member. Got started from Pima Canyon and promptly got lost in the parking lot as we decided what exactly we wanted to hike. Chumley not only put together a loop that had us blinded by the late afternoon sun, but somehow managed to seemingly feel like it was uphill 90% of the time. Impressive really. I whined accordingly.

We made our way west on Beacon Hill, Ridgeline, and Mormon Loop/Javelina Canyon. Warm, but a strong breeze kept things comfortable. After Mormon, we went through the tunnel end of Hidden Valley, then up past the crosses to Guadalupe Ridge. Three crosses now, large wood ones, two look newer than the third. Temps cooled nicely after the sun set. East on the Ridge, then finished up on Marcos De Niza.

Nice evening. Good workout. And an abundance of topics for us both to find plenty to complain about.

Went counterclockwise and it was awful. Ridgeline and Mormon are awful. Guadalupe and Marcos have tons more uphill than they should. Go the other way.

Removed a couple of painted rocks. Did you know if you wipe "love" into toilet paper with your poop, you can leave it wherever you want? It's not trash if there's a positive message on it!

Met Kelly at Pima Cyn at 0730. From the trailhead, we took Beacon Hill trail west, then west on Ridgeline. Continued west on Mormon Loop/Javelina/National. Dropped into Hidden Valley and headed back east. Encountered one lost hiker near the dryfall. He followed us for a moment, then managed to get lost again. Hmmm. Stayed in the wash below Hidden Valley, then finished on Pima Wash. Good workout loop. Fun to see Kelly again!

Clouds obscured any possible sunrise but also kept the death orb at bay for quite some time. Low temps will be ending soon.
Not many people on the trails for a Friday.
Good workout. :)
