| no partners | | | The Geronimo Trail at South Mountain is no longer the Geronimo Trail. It is now officially the Thondum Wihom (TW) Trail. I parked near the Mormon Trail parking lot, which was already in overflow at sunrise on a Sunday morning. I then walked over to the TW and hiked up. I didn't see anyone on the way to the top, but once on the National Trail, I saw a bike, then a couple runners, then a couple more bikes, then a flood of bikes. The concept of Bikes yield to Pedestrians seems to not apply there. By the time I got back to Mormon Trail parking, I had passed nearly 500 people. Way too many for my tastes. At the bottom, cars were parked on the streets all over. In many places, the bikes seem to be eroding the tread at a high rate. At some point, some action will be required, or the trail will be 6 feet deep. |
