The week before we left for our rim to rim Grand Canyon trip I took Richard hiking at my newfound Peoria trail, the Sunrise Mountain Loop. I figured it was a good warm-up since it's only 15 minutes away and in total it gains 1500 feet (over the 3 humps) and it's not the standard all up and then all down hike. You go up and down 500 feet at a time so I figured it might be a better training mechanism for the Grand Canyon since there you go down before going up and your body has to have energy left once you get to the bottom otherwise you're not getting out again.
Usually in the Phoenix area it's already hit over 100 degrees by this time in May but this year summer took a side-trip so we were lucky to still see some blooming flowers. Richard was trying out my new camera so photos shown here are his works of art.
