It's been a while since I've been to Wetherill Mesa. Long House tours were all sold out this day so I walked to this overlook instead. Underrated trail in my opinion - no massive cliff dwellings, but you get a great view into a beautiful canyon.

Parked off the road just inside the park gate. Had 10 minutes of light left and the rest was via headlamp. On the way down, I noticed two glaring eyes in the brush up ahead - luckily it was only a fox.

Not much, but it's something. :) Wore a knee brace just in case. All seems well for now.

My knee hurt after about a mile. Evidently some damage is still lingering. Not good. :(

As usual, I started the day by sleeping through my alarms. Hit the road at 5am which isn't ideal for a 5 hour drive. I parked at the junction of FR42 and FR713 and set off for the day. I thought my leg was good to go after what happened on Wrightson and I was way wrong. The pain came back after only a mile so I had to turn around. Technically, I didn't even make it to Greenhouse. :lol:

I checked out International Ave in Douglas and had a late breakfast in Bisbee so the day wasn't a total loss.

Knocking another one off the wishlist. Seriously great hike. I gotta' come back to the Santa Ritas soon.

I started just after 6am. Really enjoyed the second half of Florida Canyon. The singing birds, greenery, and what's left of the canopy were really serene in the morning - all somewhat conflicting during that last, unrelenting mile before the saddle. Right around this time I started to feel some discomfort in one of my adductors. I didn't stretch very well before the hike. oops.

At Florida Saddle, I took a break and considered turning back. That's when my stubbornness assured me it was only 3 more miles to the peak. Trying to ease the pain kept me pretty distracted along Crest Trail. Very cool to turn that last corner and see Wrightson in all its glory. It took me about 5 hours to reach the top. I headed down after 30 minutes of views, food, and expired aspirin from 2012.

Walking downhill wasn't too bad at first, then came the uphills on Crest. By the time I returned to Florida Saddle, the pain had begun harassing my knee. I dropped back into Florida Canyon to finish off the remaining 4 miles. I was happy to have trekking poles during the last one.

For those of you that are aware of the dead horse, it's a rough 200ft. The wind blew the stench at me on the way up and down. :sk: The only solace is that it's signed ahead of time regardless of your direction.

I used to think this was the highest point in South Mountain years ago when I started hiking. For whatever reason, it took 6 years to finally get around to it. I started out by heading up Ma Ha Tuak instead of Warrior. Realized my mistake .6 miles later (hence the extra stats), turned around, and got on the right track.

Felt a little sluggish along the first half of Warrior. That feeling subsided the further I went and I was able to enjoy the rest of the hike. I left Alta for the use trail and proceeded to make it more difficult than it had to be. I ended up north of the ridge/Maricopa Peak and had to head up the steep slope to correct myself. The views were great, though I found the peak itself to be a little underwhelming.

No route issues on the way down - the bits and pieces coalesce when you see them from higher up. Got a killer sunset to boot.
