Picketpost Mountain - Tonto National Forest

My hike.

Piestewa Peak - Phoenix Mountains Preserve

I started my hike at 2:30 PM, because I was going to the Central Arizona Grotto meeting in the evening. It took me 53 minutes to reach the 2,610-foot summit which was 1.2 miles from my car. On my way down it took me 50 minutes. I finished at 4:43 PM. The mountain is primarily composed of schist, quartzite, and quartz.

 

Horse With No Name Trail - Goldfield Mountains

My sister Debbie and I started this hike to the Horse With No Name Trail at 7:21 AM. Our loop hike was 10.8 miles, and took us 7 hours and 4 minutes. However, I took the wrong trail back to AZ 88, and ended up about three-quarters of a mile from my van. So I walked the highway back to my car and and drove back to pick up my sister. Therefore she hiked about 10 miles. She was exhausted.
