Came in from St. George and spent the night at twin point .The wildflowers on the drive in were amazing never seen anything like it . There are several camping spots that are on the edge of the canyon . Woke up the next day and drove the 40 to Mt Trumbull TH. The trail was very easy to follow untill about a mile and half. The trail gets really hard to follow after this. There is some dead fall you will have to work around . There are carins along the way. Summit is marked with a large carin with a stick in it with a trail register. There is a little view from the top but it is mostly blocked by trees.when I checked the register I was the 6th person this year to sign the register so this trail see very little traffic. Tried to go toroweap on the way out but you now need to get a permit to visit . So we just headed back towards Kanab.

Care must be taken to not knock rocks loose on your belayer the rock quality is poor .
Took this route to gain access to the praying monk . was solid route the crux feels much harder then a 5.6 but it is.

This hike should have been an easy fun hike but that couldn't be farther from the truth. I have hike in rain, snow , and hail and have never had my resolve tested this much before. First off if you end up like me and have to park a quarter mile from the trail head don't take the trail that cuts through the willows to the main trail I made it 400 feet before I stepped on what looked like solid ground but was really grass growing over a knee deep soup of water mud and plant growth :yuck: .I quickly hike back to the road and walk to the trail head . The weather at the trail head was 48 degress with 40mph winds ,should have been an indicator of what was to come. About 200 feet befor you hit the ridge the snow and ice patches started they were easyaly avoided but this is also were the temps dropped into the 30's and the winds were gusting close to 70 mph. After being knocked to the ground 3 times in about 40 feet I decided to hide behind a couple boulders to try and get the feeling back in my arms and legs and didn't help just seamed to make me colder and the wind was unrelenting . after about 10 mins I finally got the whill to go for the final push for the summit . every time the wind picked up I had to lean up against the rocks cause I was scared the wind would blow me off the mountain . I was 50 vertical feet from the summit when I ran into my buddy who gotten ahead of me and he informed me that the summit was close and empty so I hurried up to the top were there were only 2 other people and they were headed down so I had them take a picuter of me and all 3 of us headed down together. I was so glade to bag this one after weather shutting me out last year it felt good to finally get this one done even tho I am now sick as a dog because of it.

Had to cancel the canyoneering trip to Bear canyon due to high chance of thunderstorms so went 4x4 instead seamed like a great back up plan and it was. Started at Bumble Bee and went the back way to crown king. The entire drive up we could see some nice storm clouds building up and as soon as we entered crown king the sky opened up. It rained on and off the entire drive from Prescott . on the drive back we saw that the 17 was closed so we just took a dirt road from Mayor back to Bumble Bee were the 17 was open again.

Decided to put on the overnight pack and put a little extra weight in it to help prepare me for a trip to Colorado next month. The trail was pretty crowded today with a couple large meet up groups that had to change plans because of Bill Williams mountain being closed.

I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said in the other triplogs. I was surprised at how much water there was and don't waste your time staying dry in the beginning , you end up having to fight thick brush and catclaw and your going to have to get wet later on any way.

Went for a hike with 3 friend witch 2 of them have never been to the top and it was a success . half way up the scree chute one of our party members knocked loose a basketball size rock that when flying by my head as I try to get as far right as I can to avoid it. so I decided to let the party get ahead of me to avoid another close calls . the summit was swarming with lady bugs and small flies so we only hung out for 15 minutes before we could no longer stand the bugs and headed down. I got a little behind on the way back to the truck so I tried to jog a little to try and catch up with the group and almost steeped on a black rattlesnake it scared the hell out of me . He didn't even rattle at me even though I almost steeped on him . I got a couple pictures and then went off trail to get around him and as soon as I got back on trail he started to slither into a hollow log next to the trail.

the weather was perfect wasn't to hot and the water wasn't to cold if you didn't stay in it long, but not having a wet suite would come to bite me in the butt later on in the trip. we hit the trail at 10:30 and saw that there was a large group a head of us we had to pass them quickly or we could get stuck be hind them in the canyon .we made it down to the canyon pretty . there were a couple easy down climbs and there was just enough flow to let you use the slides was a lot of fun .There were 2 short swims be for you get to the rappel. when we got to the rappel we encountered a group that had 2 dogs with them and a kid strap to one of the guys back that was maybe 2 years old and only enough webbing for 2 harnesses when they needed 4 and a rope not long enough for the rappel. first thing that came to mind was WTF were these people doing down here. I was first one in my group to rappel well half way down the rope was stuck in the rocks in the waterfall. It took me 5 minutes to get the rope untangled and unstuck from the rocks with the water hitting me and making the job difficult and I started to get very cold and was wishing I had a wet suite at this point . When I pulled the rope out of my ATC my hands were cold and didn't hold it good enough and dropped it and lost it in the abyss ](*,) . after all the members of our group rappelled down we did the last 3 swims and got back to the truck around 2:00 .

Got to the pima canyon TH early but not early enough to beat the crowed. I had to park way back so instead of walking the road I went down the first trail I found witch was east pima loop. I then connected to the west pima loop (couldn't find the trail names to link them ) and connected with the ridgeline trail. I took the ridgeline to javelin trail and walked maybe 100 feet to connect to the Mormon loop witch I took to the national trail. I took national the rest of the way to Buena vista look out. On the way back I decided to go through hidden valley and once it reconnected with the national trail I stayed on it in till the parking lot. My GPS said I had done 2771 feet of AEG but that didn't seem right there was a lot of up and down but it couldn't have been that much when I reach the highest elevation it said 2.1k so I just went with that.
