Coronado Mesa - Superstition Mountains

At 5:28 PM, I began my hike on Coronado Mesa. It took me 1 hour and 10 minutes to reach the end of the mesa. It was 1.8 miles. I got there at 6:39 PM. At 7:00 PM, I headed back, and arrived at my car at 8:19 PM. Going back in the dark took longer and I wore my headlamp at maximum brightness. But I frequently was headed in the wrong direction. I had to frequently check my location on my cell phone and correct my direction. My hike was 3.5 miles round-trip, and it took me 2 hours and 50 minutes.
