Gallydoll

Last training hike before the Grand Canyon next weekend. Just Gallydoll and myself today. Got to Gateway trailhead just before the gate opened and there was already a long line of cars waiting to get in. Pretty much a run of the mill hike. It's been a while since I've been up to Thompson Peak, forgot how crazy steep it was. Returned on the same route. There's a little shortcut trail from Prospector over to Thompson Peak road. It's hard to see from the Prospector side, but once you get near the road, you'll come to a wash, if you turn right into the wash and then almost immediately left back out of the wash, a faint trail takes you over to the road. On the road side, there's an old piece of lumber sticking up out of a pile of rocks. Pretty easy to see. Went to Temple Bar for post hike treats only to find it has closed and is gone

. Ended up at Lush Burger for some sliders and D-licious onion rings. Oh, they have Shock Top on tap, TASTY end to the hike.
