Another Friday Trek

Just about to head down to the lower desert

There were quite a few people enjoying the outdoors this morning despite it being fairly uncomfortable due to heat and humidity.  The trick to enjoying a summer hike in the desert is to get a really early start, wear protective clothing, sunblock, and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.  Becca is good on the early start and the water drinking, but she disregards all that other stuff.
