| partners | | Bob, Wally, and I did this hike for our kind of same age hike! 64! We did not see a mile marker to figure out where to park. One of the boys pointed out the start so I flipped a Uey and there was parking across the highway. We followed a faint trail with some cairns up to the ridge and followed the ridge to get a couple extra summits and enjoy the views! From there it was on to do the Little Four Peaks. 1 and 2 are no problem but it was nice having Bob and Wally to lead the way on 3 and 4. Great views all around!! Once back to Peak 1 we followed the other faint trail back to make a balloon loop out of it. I may have fell once and slowed us up a little.  . After the hike Bob bought lunch at Dutchman's Country BBQ. Pulled pork sandwich, cheesy potatoes and a root beer were pretty tasty! Thanks Bob! I always enjoy doing these same age hikes with Bob and Wally! Hike, weather, company and food were all great!! Thanks Gentlemen Good Times and like HAZ, you rock!! |

With a late start (9:30ish) we decided to park at the C&D parking and go clockwise. We just planned on doing a few miles out and back. I figured this is the smoothest section of the Loop and JJ said there were Poppies spotted in the area(thanks). Sure enough we got to do some rehab, hike the smoother section, avoid the rockiest section, and see a nice amount of Poppies and a few Lupine! Started this late we saw the most hikers I've seen on this one in awhile! one group had 20 hikers in it! 
Temps were ok and we made it without a fall! 
Pima wash trail had signs of a foot or two flow recently. The pavement work on the drive in and the parking lot seemed to be done. New top and paint.
. It was another enjoyable outing and fun to do something a little different.
