Nice long run on a rare rainy day in Phoenix... left from the eastern-most parking lot @ Pima Canyon and ran down Desert Classic 'till it splits off. I just kinda followed the contour of the mountain 'till I came on Corona De Loma and started climbing.

That's not an easy climb! It's a lot like doing National, but with all the climbing all at once.

If you're using this trail as a way to get to the Buena Vista parking lot, then you have to descend a bit, then do another fairly short climb up to the road / lot. From there, I just took National back east to Pima Canyon.

Not feeling my best after hitting the corporate holiday party scene last night, took me around three hours, all told. Not sure of the mileage at all...

Here's a picture of the little mini Stone Henge.
