Today, John, Gail and I hiked to the top of Rincon Peak. We started on the trail around 8:00 AM. It was a very nice day and not too hot. We strolled at least at the start. Once we started going up, and up, and up and up it rally turned into a hike. This is a scenic hike that starts just outside of the Saguaro National Park and then stays within the park boundary for several miles.
We took a short break in Happy Valley and then started to really climb after that. The last mile of the trail to the peak is very steep so the stops and breaks became more frequent.
Once we finally made it, the views from the peak were awesome. We could see in every direction and there was a light breeze. We had lunch on top and started our journey down. Near the end we saw two deer as we were walking along the creek. The trip down went pretty quick and we made if back to the car around 6:00 PM.
