Ford Canyon / Willow Canyon Loop - White Tank Mountain Regional Park

I hiked a 9.8 mile loop at White Tank Mountain Regional Park. I went up Ford Canyon and down Willow Canyon. The heat and humidity were brutal. It was 93 degrees with 51% humidity when I finished. The hike took me 5 hours and 55 minutes. I took some long breaks when I found shade. The hardest part was hiking from Ford Canyon to Willow Canyon due to lack of shade. It was 5.6 miles to the Willow Canyon Trail, and it took me 3 hours and 50 minutes. From there it was 4.2 miles back to my car.

The yellow flowers are broom snakeweed.

The white-lined sphinx is a moth.
