Weather: 95°, humid, dry
Time: 40 minutes
About this hike: It's been a long time (over a month!) since Camelback. This, combined with high humidity, slowed me down. In more ways than one I'm no longer in the under-30 club (turned 30 this week) as my abysmal time shows.
The mountain wasn't at all crowded this morning and I enjoyed the views. It felt good for my feet to touch that red soil again. Until next time...

Sunset at Piestewa
Weather: 103°, sunset, breezy
Time: Not taken
About this hike: It's been so long that I decided not to record my time. Especially considering it's a warm August evening. That said, I maintained a steady pace with just a few short stops. I'd say I made it to the top in 30 min. or less.
With monsoons in the high country, I was hoping to see some clouds and thunderheads tonight, but no such luck. Views of the sunset and Valley were beautiful regardless. Coming down it got dark enough I needed my flashlight.
