Today's hike was a perfect combination of great weather, challenging climb and beautiful views. From the cave near the top of Pass Mountain we could see Phoenix, even through the veil of dust hanging over the valley floor. This is a popular hike, Gary and I shared our cave experience with several chipmunks. The hike is only 1.5 miles each way but the vertical climb makes this a good workout.
Tonight we enjoyed a campfire. We still can't believe that we are sitting by the fire on February 1. I keep expecting to hear the call of a loon, but instead, it is the call of coyotes. Coyotes seem to love their opportunities to sing, even a police car siren traveling on a near road sets off a howling session.
