Boulder Canyon/ Second Water HIke

Yesterday I joined the AOTC group to hike the Boulder Canyon and Second Water trails. For those of you who just like to view the photos, they are here. There is also a slideshow at the end of this post.

The trip was an out and back trip of approximately 15 miles. I used my iphone gps and it was out from that but you can see the information it gives below. (It was not set to high accuracy to conserve battery power. ) For a phone I think it give a pretty good overview of what we did that day. You can click on the link and see more detailed information and maps.

The hike was very pretty with great views of Battleship Mountain. The desert was very green. We saw only one flower and one cactus about to bloom. If we get some more rain it might be a good wildflower season which starts in February and peaks in March. We also saw an old indian clay mine.

The trip leaders, Dan and Garry, were awesome. They made sure everyone was safe. Apparently ten people were lost on the trail last year. It was a great day out.

Impressed that your speed remained pretty constant as you went up some pretty steep inclines (at least as shown by the graph).
