Beautiful monsoon hike. Some rain, clouds, wind, and fog made for a memorable trek. Up Pyramid, over to Goat Hill, and back on Bursera. It didn't rain hard until the last half mile. :)

Didn't feel like riding my bike to work in the rain, so I called my boss and took the day off to go hiking instead. Raining hard when I got to the trailhead so I waited a few minutes for it to let up.
Got going towards the Ridgeline trail at 0730. Rained for about 10 minutes, then just sprinkles for the next hour. Breezy, felt great. There was running water everywhere, but nothing dramatic. I was too late for the good stuff.
Hiked up Mormon Loop and up to Two Peaks. Went west on National to the top of Hidden Valley. Running water in Hidden Valley. I followed a pack of coyotes down the valley (lots of tracks). Returned to the TH the way I came.
Fun hike. I don't feel a day over 64. :)

Last minute invite from the gecko. Been quite a few years since I hiked Ord.
First 5 miles has quite a bit a burn, but also regrowth coming in. Erosion was not as bad as I thought it might be. Top of the mountain is still very nice.
The sky was very hazy in all directions. No good long distance photo ops.
Saw a medium size hawk with white bands at the base of it's tail in flight. Sharp Shinned hawk? We also saw a deer and other smaller wildlife.
Fun hike. Thanks Kelly! :)

Nice sunrise. Didn't see anyone until I was back on Desert Classic. Checked out the Sidewinder trail on my way back. I liked it. :)

Zillions of yellow butterflies coming out of the alfalfa fields. Maybe it's just me, but it felt warm today. :)

Early start from 104th St. No headlamp necessary. Got up to Bell Pass a little after sunrise to find clouds to the east, so we got to hike without direct sunlight pretty much the whole hike. Humid but once we got to Bell Pass there was a breeze to dry us off. The trails are dust free and compacted from recent rain. Good hike. Thanks for breakfast after Kelly. :)

First significant rainfall on South Mountain in a long long time. Some puddles here and there, and signs of runoff. Bursera trees are blooming. Cicadas are out. Life is returning. :)

Started from the Warpaint trailhead early. Very humid. Monsoon humidity is here. Hiked up Old Man's, then Geronimo down and up, finishing with Corona de Loma. Saw Denny and Wally on Geronimo. Had a nice chat with them. Only saw five hikers all morning. :)

By the light of the moon and 50,000 street lights we got underway up the Geronimo trail. We hiked up to the benchmark above Eagle Pass, admiring the sunrise, and continued on Guadalupe Ridge until we reached the top of Hidden Valley, dropping down to venture through. Next, we swung over to Two Peaks then returned to Geronimo via the National trail.
Temps were tolerable. Fun hike. Thanks Kelly. :)

Started early from the Beverly Canyon trailhead. Hiked the Ridgeline trail to Javelina to National to Hidden Valley, and back on Mormon Loop and Ridgeline. Made it through Hidden Valley without seeing anyone. Quite a few once I descended on Mormon Loop. Hundreds of doves flew by me into the mountain before sunrise to feast on saguaro fruit.
Weather was decent considering the date. Mid 80's when I finished. :)
