Weather: 76ยบ, overcast, breezy, spotty showers
Time: 26 minutes
About this Hike: It only has taken until November to finally see some fall-like weather in Phoenix. I don't recall rain being in the forecast, but for a brief time on my drive up to Piestewa it was coming down pretty good. By the time I reached the trailhead everything was dry.
The views were spectacular today.... The clouds cast shadows and made for a unique lighting effect on the mountains and buildings around the Valley. Rain shafts could be seen coming from the surrounding clouds.
As I was descending, showers set in. They didn't last long, but it was cool and refreshing. While I'd love a good downpour, I'd rather NOT be on a trail when it occurs. Those rocks become awful slick making an already tricky hike even more dangerous.
