| no partners | | I thought with the rain coming I better get another hike in just in case. So I headed to Ireland; I mean Lookout Mountain. It was a nice day and perfect for my hike. I parked below the hill and hiked counterclockwise stopping a few times to take in the course, I mean the landscape. And FYI, my photos from last year are popping up in my google feed and it was like this last year too.
I had to stop for a moment to watch a rabbit make a beeline for whereever it was going; seemed to have a mission. I didn't run into any other hikers after topping out at the first hill on the north side, until heading up the hill on the south side. As I crossed over the southside I took notice of several things including a mountain to the southwest and the deep wash below me. And for some reason the barrel cactus were standing out. I encountered the same older lady that I had seen on my last three hikes here. We must be afternoon hikers.
As I hiked on the east side I had such clear vision to the Superstitions. In fact, I had really clear distant views the entire hike. I can't remember exactly where I noticed they had brushed the trail nicely for a little bit of it and I appreciated that. I crossed through the main trailhead area on the northside and did my little northwestern loop back to Tonto. It was a good hike. As I drove away I saw the same man I've seen the last three times; he was talking on his phone as usual.

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled. |
