Got out before noon to beat the wind. It seems to have helped. Very busy here and the new parking lot is open and doing it's job.

Small ones hidden in the now dry grasses. Not much.

Big "L" on the left side to the NW corner, and back. Sure is dry and barren out here.

New trailhead might be open next week. It will be gravel.

112 to 114 for this. Too hot. At least I got out. Better than the yet-another-119-degree-day, in Phoenix.

Did this hike with Jim on an overcast 73 degree day. We did the entire loop counter clockwise, and skipped the "flag pole" section on the Northeast side. We saw 4 coyotes on the road a few hundred feet East of the gate.
