"Hello, Sue!  I discovered your blog via Debra Van Winegarden's "Earthline".  Really enjoying your Tucson stuff; I've done many of them.  
I also have a blog at https://daringdayhikes.home.blog/
 . Maybe I'll see you on the trails sometime!" - Larry.


"Thank you very much for this write up, very informative.  I just hiked this peak last weekend (May 28, 2022). I was alone, it was about 95 degrees, no shade, and no one else in the entire area. It took about 9 hours including rest stops and spending about 1 hour at the summit.  The descent is where it got hot and where water ran low. Thankfully there was a breeze that started and kept me relatively cool, along with multiple rest stops which helped avoid heat stroke.Overall this is a very beautiful area where one can experience extreme solitude. Not for the faint at heart or inexperienced though. Know your limits!" 
BTW, your summit register entry is still up there in one of the books." 
-  Pinto Mountain Hike, Joshua Tree Wilderness.


"It has been an amazing year in so many places this year. It will be lovely to see our reservoirs revived by all this snowpack.  That horse looks like it's had quite enough solitude. "Pet me! Talk to me! I'm going nuts."  It must be wonderful to be present for the formation of a waterfall. Thanks for sharing these wonderful images. I think my favorites are Along the Hidden Pinyon Trail and Snow Canyon State Park. I like your explanation of a laccolith. Happy hiking; keep up the good work."
-   A Cold Desert:  Winter Images from Snow Canyon SP and Hell Hole, southwestern Utah.


"One stat I don't see is the Elevation of the creek and the falls. Please tell me what they are.  Always useful."  -  Explore Ashdown Gorge To Rattlesnake Creek Falls
