picacho peak

Needed gloves and one hiking stick for descent  

As always, this hike is a CHALLENGE! We started at 8. The temperatures were fine, not very warm, but the shady portions of the trail

Last summit to finish the challenge! Perfect weather this morning. Plenty of climbing. Best to bring gloves for the cables. Beautiful views!

We started at 8am.  Not that many hikers at that time but became very busy on our way down.

This was probably my least favorite hike of the six peaks. A roller coaster of emotions describes the section after the saddle perfectly. The views

This was an interesting hike! You hike up the front of the mountain and then descend the back. That's where the cables come into play.
