General Comments:

Long hard hike with great views of the Phoenix area – is a good hike for those in shape for it ... is not a good hike for those that are not. I was very tired after this hike and I hike pretty much every weekend

(I was also coming down with the flu by the end of the hike – so that may have contributed to my feeling more tired than usual for that type of hike).

Problems / concerns:
  • People showing up in tennis shoes instead of hiking boots
  • not enough water and food
  • thinking it was a 2 hour hike instead of 6 hours.
