Very hot weather. So we started before 5:00.


A couple stops and we were at 113.4 before noon to rest in some shade in the river bottom.

We took both sets of iconic tunnels.

Leap frogged Lady Bug. Met Asher/Wildflower.

Caught up with Pop Tart and Chris at the snack bar.

We threw rocks near the snake until it finally moved.

Met Chuck, Eric and Gary.

We looked out over the Saguaro Cactus.

A long, hot day with some great breaks. Then more hiking. And more hiking. And a little bit more. 6:00 pm and the tent is pitched.
