| no partners | | Ehhh, 1 of my fave hikers is moving away. We had talked bout this outing for multiple years so we made sure to do it on our last chance.I had done this once previously back in March of 2018.
Found two others who wanted to go. Meet 9:15 and then drive to TH. No need for an early start as that would have just made us chilly. First time outside of Meetup with one participant.
Pushed myself during the road hike.Then formed a partial loop on the way down. Quick side trail on the way back. Ibuprofen+new insoles helped keep ball of  pain in check. Solid outing. |

| no partners | |  That was a barn burner!  I've been thinking about this hike for a few years and finally completed it in the rain today. I'll admit that thesnake lit a fire underneath me to get it done. Thanks for the TL @thesnakefromthelemma. I completed it the easier direction though, so I'll have to go back and hike it south to north like he did. One thing this hike reminded me of was that Sunrise is a really wimpy peak compared to the rest of the McDowell Mountain range.  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! |
