Still need 5 more hikes to get 51 new in this year.  There are only 6 more days left in the year.  No Pressure. So hard to find new that are close by. This is the last year for NEW Challenge.

Had to drive to South Phoenix so we decided to hit South Mountain.  We parked at 24th Street and Baseline.  Lots of spots in the parking lot.  There is parking on the street also.

MidDay Sun - Breezy in the Valley Today!
Looking for a quick new hike.  Mormon Trail takes you to National and other trails.  We decided to do a 2 miler today but was cut short because nature called.  (won't say who!)

We went almost to the top and then turned around.  Nice hike.  Good elevation gain to start.  Good for all ages.

Enjoy the pictures!
