Weather: 74ยบ, clouds giving way to sunny
Time: 26.5 minutes
About this Hike: This day started out gorgeously overcast. We live in the Valley of the Sun for a reason. However, a change of scenery is nice. I've enjoyed this week's clouds, even if we aren't going to get cooler temperatures this winter. A cool down is always in the forecast, but it keeps getting pushed back another day, every day. I'll believe it when I see it at this point.
I used the alternate summit trail ascending and descending today. Shortly after beginning my hike the sun started to pierce through. There was some humidity in the air. It actually left me feeling a little fatigued for some reason. Regardless, I reached the summit in an average amount of time. It was nice being able to get to the summit again. Last week's bottlenecks were more than I could take and I usually turned back just before the final push to the top.
By the time I was descending the sun was in full force and I deeply regretted not bringing a hat with me. Thankfully I don't think I've burned my scalp (my head is freshly buzzed).
Overall, a routine, enjoyable Piestewa workout.
