Drew Canyon Trail via Highline Trail - Tonto National Forest

I began my hike on the Highline Trail at 9:01 AM. After hiking 2.7 miles I arrived at the Drew Canyon Trail. That took me 1 hour and 19 minutes. Next was a 1 mile hike up to the Mogollon Rim. That took me 59 minutes. The elevation gain was about 812 feet. The temperature on the rim was 80 degrees.  After a short break I started back down at 11:42 AM. I reached the Highline Trail in 29 minutes. Then after taking an alternate bypass of the steep section on the Highline Trail I arrived back at my car at 1:20 PM. The bypass made my hike almost a half mile longer. My round-trip hike was 7.8 miles, and it took me 4 hours and 19 minutes.
