Another meet after work hike.  We decided to go to Piestawa Peak to the far lot.  Take trail 302 that goes around the Summit.  Hike towards the Perl Charles trail and then explore around the West side.

Not a cloud in the sky!

We picked up the Perl Charles after .5 miles and then saw the Irregular link that headed up.  We had plenty of sun and a beautiful 70 degree breeze.  Awesome.











We went up to a beautiful lookout and then hit the circumference trail North East.  There was some ups and downs that gave us a decent workout.  We both said we like hiking around there and even though I have done so many trails around that area this one was fun to put together in a different way.

Tough to take this weather. 

We had not seen each other for a while so we hiked and caught up on life!  Great Afternoon!

We cut off some distance since we went to the top of the saddle.  If we had turned around it would have been about a 6 miler but it turned into a 4. That was fine. We were playing beat the work day sun.

Nice After Work Hike Spot

Happy Valentines Day!
