North Mountain

Phoenix Mountains Preserve

Got some travel coming up, so not going for an “away” hike this Thursday. Instead, I will be climbing North Mountain by the steep dirt trail that heads up from near the National Guard armory.

In preparation for that, a few weeks ago, I figured I ought to start including some elevation gain amongst my normal weekly expeditions to the Mogollon Rim. Per usual, I take the less steep paved access road.

Today, I set personal best time, falling a hair short of the sixteen minute barrier at 16:10. 💪

So, that’s the only reason for this blog. 😆

Distance: 2.55 mi.
