| | | This was my first HAZ Thanksgiving hike and first time hiking up Sunrise Peak from this direction. The group of 10 met at Adero Canyon TH at 6:30AM and started the hike to Sunrise with, fittingly, a fantastic sunrise that just kept improving--the whole line of us stopped for pictures every few minutes early on as the sky kept turning a deeper red over the Superstitions. It was a little windy at times, but comfortable temperatures overall. There were quite a few people out hiking on the holiday, including a surprising number of groups in their teens/20s...kids still go outdoors these days?
We got some pictures at the summit before the group split in half, with five going back to Adero and five going down to the 145th St. TH before turning around. Great to see a lot of familiar faces and meet Denny, JJ, and Ray for the first time, and a nice way to start Thanksgiving. Between 10s/lp/JJ, we had strong John representation at 30% of the group...more johns than a prostitution ring. |

) Thanks for the invite, Kelly. I enjoyed the hike immensely!
Much of this route also was familiar to the Torote Loops in the Sierra Estrella range. Could be a five star route except for all those god-damned jets overhead constantly!
