Went out for a quick overnighter with a good friend. The trailhead was packed and lots of people were out enjoying the idyllic Southern Arizona weather. By the time we passed the Bridal Wreath Falls junction, we only saw a couple other people. The forecast had been clear up until the morning of our departure, and rain was suddenly all-but-guaranteed. The skies began to darken later in the afternoon and about a half mile from the campground, the weather caught up to us and it began to rain. Thankfully, it let up long enough for us to setup camp and eat some dinner. We went to bed with a light drizzle and about 40 degree weather. I was woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of a large clump of heavy, wet snow falling from the mesquite above my tent. That morning we woke up to about 4 inches of show and frozen rain. We had breakfast, broke camp and headed back down. After a quick stop at Bridal Wreath, we concluded our trip just in time to grab some lunch in Tucson. There was a good amount of water available at the Spring.
