Another early start to make sure I get a parking spot and enjoy the new day.
From the Pyramid trailhead I hiked up Lost Mine, down Mine Drop/Lost Ranch Mine, up Ruins, then west on National.
Went off trail at the quartz boulders to check out a mine below. Bushwhacked from there down to the Bajada, then onto the National to it's western terminus. Hiked up the Alta trail to Maricopa Peak, then down Alta to the Bajada. Took Bajada east to the Ranger trail then up to the National and Goat Hill. Hiked back to the car via Lost Mine and a little bit of Pyramid.
Cool and breezy which was perfect for a long hike. Clouds helped make the scenery even more dramatic. :)

Kelly suggested a hike in the Goldfields, and I was in. Such a unique area.
Started early so we were treated to a pretty sunrise. Great views from Peak 2881. The Horns were fun to scale. Looks like one of them wouldn't be too hard to top if you had a mind to. The hike back through the wash was much better than expected. Pour offs offered some scrambling and a challenge.
Fun day. Goldfield scenery is always very cool. Thanks Kelly. :)

A flock of ducks landed amongst the geese. There's hope yet.
Sure gets cold fast after sunset. :)

Neighborhood rooster crows at the break of dawn. Awesome colorful sunrise. Sunset was a dud. :)

Up Lost Mine to Goat Hill then down and up Ranger. Returned via Lost Ranch Mine.
Much clearer air today. Avoided a lot of people by starting early.

Finished on the new Beacon Hill trail. I guess it replaced some of the East Loop and West Loop trails (see Linda's rant). :lol:
Cold and breezy start just before dawn. Went up Marcos to Guadalupe Ridge, down and Up San Gabriel, over to Ridgeline going west to Mormon Loop, down the trail west of Devastator, up Devastator, east on Ridgeline, up San Juan Hill and back on the Beacon Hill trail.
Trailhead was as busy as I've ever seen it when I returned. Flora is very stressed from lack of water. Brown cloud over Phx is a little scary. Good workout. :)

Lots of low flying geese landing in the ag fields near work. Cool to watch and listen as they fly overhead. Mornings are finally getting light earlier. :)

Watching another pink flowing sunset is more relaxing than watching the news. :)

Had a nice chat with TomP on Guadalupe Ridge. Busy trails. Temps in the low thirties makes for good uphill hiking weather. :)

Bruce & Denny's 10th annual New Year's-ish hike. Excellent group but missing a couple HAZ all stars.
Table Top is a great hike. Getting to the trailhead isn't so great, thus it doesn't see a lot of hiking traffic.
Chilly start though we all warmed up once we got going and hiked out of the shade into the sun. Once we started up the mountain slope layers were shed. Beautiful desert along the way with nice long distance views as well.
We took a couple nice breaks up top and celebrated making it to 2021.
Nice to hike with everyone again. Hadn't hiked with Preston since 2012. Cool to meet Bruce's son Ben. I think we may have bored him with our moderate pace.
Thanks Bruce and Denny for organizing and the invite. Thanks Ray, Linda, & JJ for driving. Stay healthy and happy in 2021! :)

Hiked up to Two Peaks, returned via Ridgeline. Light traffic on the trails, picking up as I finished. Watered a few cactus which I have been doing lately. The lack of rain has been very tough on Somo.
Nice brown cloud/haze down in the valley from all the fireworks last night. Sounded like a war zone most of the evening.
Happy trails all in 2021! :)
