We chose this little 10-mile loop in the Catalinas for our penultimate hike of the season; my Wasson bookend hike will be the final act next Tuesday.
The parking lot was packed with cars, most of which with out-of-state plates. No doubt a lot of folks escaping into the outdoors to distract from the Republican fascism rising in this once-great country. A bumpersticker on a Tesla in the lot says tomes.
Ravishing weather today, perfect really except for a little wind in parts. Clear and sunny with a high of 65º, and we managed 63º of that by hike's end around 12:50.
After the first couple of miles, we saw no other people on the final three trails. And none of the mountain bikers and horsey types one often sees on the Bridle and 50-Year trails.

The afore-mentioned bumper sticker. One needs these to avoid being called a MAGA dick.

The April poppies have been out for two months, an ominous harbinger of this and future summers’ intense heat I fear.

| The Bridle Trail is, well, what one would expect. Luckily, we were only on it for about a mile-and-a-half. But nice views of the Catalinas. |
