We attempted a family hike/ walk at South Mountain. It almost didn't happen because we couldn't find the correct entrance where JJ and Huichi were waiting. However, using our iphone location sensor and Google maps we were able to find the way. Once we got there we started walking. Huichi and I set a bit of a faster pace. After a time we called the others and discovered they had turned off the trail. We walked back but missed the turn off so we walked all the way back to the parking lot. Once there we headed up the trail that we figured the others would be coming down. We found them. However, the littlest nephew had fallen down twice and had decided that his walk had come to an end. PJ ended up carrying him the rest of the way because he wouldn't ride JJ's shoulders. The older nephew did fine.
Peralta Trail
Huichi wanted to hike out to see Weaver's Needle. She figured we could hike out and back before she and JJ were to leave on Sunday. We had a good time hiking out. The rocks rise in a striking steep manner around the trail. The trail steadly goes up until you reach Fremont Saddle. There was snow on the trail which is pretty funny. Worse there was ice on the trail and both Huichi and I slipped more than once. At the top the views were great. We headed down carefully. As we reached the bottom of the trail I got a call from Dad. We were running late. My brother was less than impressed when we arrived home ten minutes after he and Huichi were supposed to be heading back to Las Vegas. Photos here
