| no partners | | Started out at the park entrance at S. 17th Ave. Picked up the Pyramid Trail, then onto the Lost Ranch Trail. From there, took the Eliminator up the mountain. Wondered why it was called the Eliminator until I imagined coming down it on a bike. Cactus were flowering everywhere. Followed that north to the National Trail which was heavy with bike traffic from some kind of event. It eventually trickled out. Headed West to the intersection of the Lost Ranch trail and headed back down. Some sections were very steep with lots of loose stone. It was most exciting!
Passed the Lost Ranch and headed back to the car. Was a great hike!
Did 5 Geocaches on the hike, so plenty of breaks! |
