It was hot and buggy as I crossed back and forth over Agua Caliente Creek half a dozen times in the morning. As I climbed ~3500′, I was graced with a breeze making the hike that much more enjoyable.
I wound through massive boulders, all of which I am convinced are Rock Biters. Met Doc and Dirty Squirrel, and shared some precious Bada Bean Bada Boom snacks – which are some of the absolute best hiking snacks!
