10-Mile Day Hike at South Mountain
February 2008
|
Our hike today is from the beginning of Pima Road over to Telegraph Pass on the National Trail and Telegraph Pass Trail and it is a perfect day for a nice 10-mile hike... and did I mention it is all downhill? Our hikers are Debi, Dave, Gary, Tyler, and James.
|
We study the map to plan our route. It looks pretty flat on this map, don't you think?
 | 
Everyone adds a rock to the biggest rock cairn in the world, or at least the biggest rock cairn in South Mountain! |
 | 
James hiding out in Hidden Valley |
Only 8 more miles to go, Tyler!
 | 
Are we starting the downhill part yet?? |
James leads us in search of a geocache
 | It's around here somewhere!
 |
Mr. Weber and James study the GPS for clues
 | | where would you be if you were a geocache?
Right here!
 |
Mr. Weber fills out the log
 | and we hit the trail again
 |
| James waits for us while we climb up more downhill parts of the hike. |
 |
 | Tyler finds the best seat in the house while we watch the mountain bikers for a while |
And then we are off again, in search of that downhill section, it must start sometime soon!
|  |
 | Snack break
 |
James is happy because he can see houses and a parking lot!
 | Gary and Tyler come down the last set of switchbacks
 |
 | We finished! And Mrs. Hutchins is here to take us back to our cars at the start - unless anybody wants to walk back??
 |
| Special thanks to Mrs. Hutchins for the taxi service! |
