Trip to the summit and back from the Lost Dog Trailhead with my friend. Took longer to make it back down that usual. Knees are stiff and sore after a 6-ish mile hike yesterday.

My boyfriend and I did this Sunday afternoon hike and have no idea how far we went. We got kind of confused with the directions from the hike description and the description I had from an old Phoenix mag. Eventually we found the parking area which came up pretty quickly on the left after the road turned to dirt and took to the trail. The ground seemed slightly damp as we ascended and became quite a slog since the trail was significantly eroded approaching Dog House Spring. I'm not even sure how far along the trail we made it since I judged our path according to one of the GPS routes which seemed to show a peak around mi 2.4. We never made it to any peak, but did pass through three gates (two marked with a request to close it and one unmarked) and an interesting ecosystem of pines, oaks, prickly pear cacti and cholla. Good hike all around- especially the well deserved dinner at Los Hermanos in Superior :y:

Saturday am hike with my friend that lead to my first trail injury. We did our usual Telegraph jaunt up to the road, plus a little extra distance to the ramada off the National Trail for good measure. On the way back onto the Telegraph from the road, I stepped a little too close to the edge of the trail and almost slipped into the huge pile of rocks 15 ft below :o . I scraped the hell out of my elbow, knee and ankle, but managed to clean up adequately and make it to Four Peaks for Pumpkin Porter without further incident. Only drawback is that now no one wants to let me hike solo.

My boyfriend and I did this hike as a last minute pick. I wanted to get out of the house (and the Phoenix heat) so we headed up north and ended up here. We met a lovely woman on the way onto the trail who gave us a quick run down of the points of interest. I was a little in awe because she said today was her first hike since having a quadruple bypass 4 months ago. We made sure she had clearance from her doc and a cell just in case. She was an experienced hiker, but it was good to check anyway. She told us about the spring so we made that our destination. We saw all kinds of happy little creatures out there. My bf even made friends with a little horned lizard. Started out around 2:30 and made it back to the car just after 6. Temps were in the mid 80s and absolutely sublime.

Absolutely gorgeous day today. Left Scottsdale about 9:15 and hit the trail with a friend a little before 11. Pretty quiet day out. We only ran into 7 other hikers on the trail. There were a few people out fishing and enjoying some general relaxation. Temps were in the upper 70s which was heaven compared to 112* in the valley. I'm so glad I finally got to make the trek around the lake after some friends I went camping with a few weeks ago decided they'd had enough after about 1/3 mi! ](*,) I definitely want to bring the BF for a hiking/boating afternoon under the pines.

After years of hiking this area I still have no idea which trail I'm actually hiking. Note to self- get a GPS so I can finally figure it out one of these days. Good hike, but hot and the little black gnats are coming out so this might be one of the last trips out in the valley for a while.

As usual... Sunrise from Lost Dog TH to the horse hitch and back. A little too tired to hit the summit today.

Hike with my BF in the eve. It was pretty hot, but once the sun started setting it was fantastical. Amazing cactus blooms back there! Lots of ocotillo and barrel cactus flowering right now.

This is a guestimate of distance and elevation since the BF and I hiked up and over three of the prominences on what didn't really appear to be maintained trails (though he swore they were). He's hiked there many times before so I was just along for the ride
