Daniela had not hiked Ord yet, so we decided to get that out of the way today. I've been feeling kind of out of shape lately, so I put an extra 4 lbs of junk in my pack to make it more of a workout. We got started a little after 7:15 to nice cool temps. There was a decent amount of shade for the first half of the way up too. The last couple of miles to the top were a little warm, but not terrible. At the top, we had a snack, looked around, took some pics, then headed back down. There was a church group having a dads & daughters camp about a mile from the top, so we chatted with them for a few minutes on the way back. After that, we made pretty good time back to the car. It was definitely warm the last few miles--86 degrees when we reached the car a few minutes before 1:00. We saw a couple of tarantulas, but not much else today.
