Didn't start out with this hike in mind but as I was hiking west on trail 100 towards Tatum, I figured why not. I have hiked Dixie from both sides but not at the same time as a loop. You used to be able to park near the east trail, but not sure anymore. So I just walked around and made a loop. Good exercise this morning!

Great hike I was able to finally complete after 2 tries. This hike has everything a hiker loves: steep scree, vertical scrambles, catclaw, cholla for days, exposure. I was slow because I wanted to make sure not to make any mistakes and it was getting hot. The final climb was super fun and you can see forever once at the top! I even found someone's phone on the mountain. Good day!

Finally crossed this one off the list, it was fun! Once you leave the trail it gets very steep quickly. You have to be careful because everything moves under your feet, it's very rocky and brush and cactus. I used Bob's route and it worked great. The views up there are very nice!

Nice hike to escape the city and heat for a day. Although it still was warm in the sun, and buggy, I really enjoyed this hike! Quite a few wildflowers still blooming and solitude except for a couple of people. I walked from the lower parking lot to extend the hike a little bit.

It was a beautiful day to be off from work so I hit flatiron for the first time this season and threw in the ironing board since I have never been there. It was a great day although not as many flowers as I expected. The flowers that were there sure were great though. Great day!

Nice little hike in the New River area and not too crowded from this trailhead. Always wanted to try this peak but never got around to it. This was the perfect day for it, wildflower was starting to pop with poppies. A good rock climb near the top but had to avoid a few bee hives. Probably a one and done though.

Beautiful weather for my day off so I headed to North Mountain for some exercise as anything else would not work today. It's always nice to come back to the Visitor Center and hike once in a while, although I like Shaw Butte better. I made a loop by going west on 100 as if I was going to Shaw Butte then taking a social trail up and along a nice ridge to a saddle just below the summit, then the final push to the top. Very scenic and a little challenging. Once on top, I continue down south on the dirt path to the park and back up to the road and trail 101 to the Visitor Center. Not many people out this morning, especially the route I took. Maybe also because it was 45 degrees and very windy, cold. Oh well, I got out. :lol: :roll:

Quick hike in the McDowell's today, nice out except it was windy and chilly most of the day. The clouds kept rolling in and out. I made a quick visit to PK. 3515, never did that one, and it was nice. There were blue barrels in a few places off trail on Windgate, covered up by netting and rocks. I wonder what they were there for?

Beautiful day to hike in Spur Cross Cave Creek! Not crowded at all but beautiful and peaceful. Made good time to the top and back around and down. Merry Christmas!🌲☃️

Beautiful hike to Wave Cave and beyond. Shame, when I got to the cave, no one was there to take my picture. I continued up to the Ridgeline and over to Three Sisters where I lunched and took some pictures. Then back to Ridgeline and over to Carney and down. Nice day;

Did the double today. Trying to get back into shape and this was a good choice. Barely any people on Cholla and not much on Echo starting out, but got busy as we're finishing. Went up Echo, down Cholla, up Cholla, and back down Echo. I like the improvements on Cholla. I still prefer Cholla over Echo, the new facilities were a good addition.

Quick exercise this morning before it gets warm. Climbed to the top of a foothill over looking Dreamy Draw park to see how the progress was going. I thought it was supposed to re-open this fall, but now I hear next spring '23. The parking lot and facilities look like there's quite a bit of work to do. Nice day though.

I've done Sunrise many times, many ways, but never this way. I started at the main parking lot for Sunrise and hiked up to the top and back down the other side via the 136th St spur trail, back to the neighborhood and back to the car. One big loop. It was very nice except the road-walking part. Not too hot, not too crowded. I took a break on top and watched and listened to all the building going on near Adero and they were very busy. I remember years ago there was nothing around here, I wish it would slow down. Anyway a great hike!

Beautiful morning in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. Very humid but once I got to the top, it started raining for about 20 minutes. It felt very good. Not very busy which is nice and I got a good workout in!

Decided to hit the trail early this morning for some much needed exercise. Busier than I thought, but not too bad. It was very warm and humid, I was completely drenched by the time I was finished. It sure was pretty with all the green from recent rains though; some of the trail was washed out however.

Quick morning workout hike on Black Mountain this morning. Windy and very hazy; last time I was here was much greener and the views were better. The trail was buzzing with activity. Many flies and bees the whole way, the trees were blooming. Saw a few people here and there.

Beautiful day to be in the Spur Cross area! Started out very windy but calmed down to a nice breeze that kept us cool when it heated up. Not too many people out until we got back close to the trailhead. Saw a Gila Monster!
