| no partners | | After our quick hike around the Twin Lakes, we continued on some back roads thru the ANF to the Brush Hollow TH, which has a nice little system of trails. For this hike we did the Challenger Loop, which is pretty much the shortest loop, but apparently also the hardest due to the mild elevation gain. In actuality, the height of the grass and various vegetation make all of the trails and hiking in PA somewhat of a challenge compared to hiking in AZ.
We took the section of the loop that does the gradual climb first, which made things better for the kids. The temperature was a little warm, but nothing compared to AZ. The humidity was the only real issue, but compared to what it was like the week before in PA, that was also mild. We completed 3.3 miles and during the entire hike, I didn't even once need a drink, which is unheard of right now anywhere in AZ.
the only wildlife we spotted were some tadpoles in a pool next to an uprooted tree. Saw plenty of deer tracks, but no bambis. |
