Early morning in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. Two trips to the summit. Wasn’t sure about the second. First summit was from the Alternate Trail. Hiked down to the main trailhead and then waffled back and fourth as I hiked back up to the Alternate junction. Decided to go for it. Wasn’t as bad as I thought. Those stairs at the top are a killer on the second go around. Unsurprising, trails were packed. Didn’t even bother trying to count. Saw a squirrel, chipmunk and quail.
