Jim had a great idea to hike Lost Dog.  We have hiked Sunrise and the North side of the McDowell Mountains.  The parking lot was a pleasant surprise.  All new parking and restrooms.  We were early hiking at 7:30 and by the time we ended there were a lot of hikers, bikers and runners hitting the trail.

Nice easy hike.  Although on the Jeep road the rocks that stick up can be annoying.

We took Lost Dog Trail to the East, crossed Ring Trail. Headed West on the Old Jeep Trail, back to Ring Trail and then hit the Lost Dog Wash back to the trailhead.








 Beautiful Winter Sunrise on a Cloudy Day!
