| no partners | | Last year no one noticed a math joke, I got it right away when I referenced my old log for stats. My nerd street credit is less than you'd think, though.
Anyway, I wanted something longer, but didn't think I had the time to do 9 miles on the Mormon Loop descending the Geronimo, and I didn't want to hike into the sun, so I did this. Still a decent amount of sun facing hiking, but the clouds to the south were great, and the views on the National as the sun set were too. It is much more pleasant when not 100+, as it was on my first time doing this counter-clockwise loop last October.
The air is once again rather dry and clean, save for the view out towards the west valley, mostly. The Catalina Mts were visible and crisp looking from the section of National trail east of the road, and so were a part of the Eagletails just north of Saddle Mt(Tonopah). The full moon rise was also really spectacular, rising just over the area where Roosevelt Dam should be. |
