Springtime at Squaw Peak

Spring is in the air! And along with it is some awesome outdoor weather. I drove down to Squaw Peak today (also known as Piestewa Peak) and did a little hiking.

Unfortunately I wasn't the only one who had this idea, as the Summit Trail was packed. I went half-way up the mountain before coming back because the crowds were just too much. It was still a good workout though, and I took a few photos as well!

Only a 1.2 Mile Hike... Up a 1,200ft Elevation Change!

I Like the Wristwatch Affixed to the Map Board

Summit Trail is the Only Pet-Unfriendly Trail. Too Rocky and Steep

Too... Many... People!
