Up Wet Canyon to the climbing wall and back.
Stop at RTM CG to hike down to Noon Creek to check the flow.
Had a nice talk with a lion hunting couple at RTM CG.
They had 4 mules and 10 dogs :o

Started from RTM CG.
First up the Ridge trail to the last overlook for a peek at the new snow ... not much.
Then back down and on to the upper Noon Creek crossing.
Decided here I wanted to see Marijilda Canyon so up to the saddle I went.
Made it up in about an hour to the always amazing view down into Marijilda.
Not much snow here either, but I could hear the roar of the water below from melt.
Back down and on home completing a nice Saturday.
:D

Afternoon trip down to the old Cluff Dairy and Jacobson Sawmill.
Colors are changing down at the Dairy and there were plenty of apples left in the meadow : wink :
Down the spooky canyon I enjoyed the old sawmill ruins, I find a new artifact every time I go down there!
Coffee nightcap back at RTM CG with the half moon before returning home.
:D

The canyon tree frogs are now singing all up and down the canyon.
Creek flow has slowed down a bit, snow melt just about done.
Lot's of blooming cactus, dragonflies and frogs.
Before heading home I had a sunset campfire & coffee at RTM CG.

Ladybug Trail top to bottom ... Finally :y:
We set up a shuttle leaving one vehicle at Angle Orchard and driving up to Ladybug Saddle.
We first bagged Ladybug Peak. There was a new register up there and about a hundred or so ladybugs.
Then down #329 we went-
Outstanding trail and one of the very few trails that was spared by the Frye Fire.
This trail has it all as you descend the 3500 ft down from the pines to the upper desert.
Beautiful forest, great overlooks, cool rock formations, lot's of blooming cactus and a good flowing creek at the bottom. Sky Island weather was chilly on top and hot at the bottom :|
A short hike up to Angle Orchard and drive back up to Ladybug Saddle ended our day together.
Addie drove back down and home as I stayed on the mountain for a bit more.
I had time for a quick sunset hike down to Cluff Dairy then a fire and pick me up coffee at RTM CG before heading home.
Great day on the mountain with my buddy, in fact ... top 3 favorite hike of this 2023!
:D

Just a couple afternoon hours around Noon Creek.
Didn't really feel like hiking, but did get a mile in on 302.
Just wanted to hang out by the creek and campground today.
