Cave Creek and Carefree are towns situated around a mountain named Black Mountain. It has 1160 foot elevation with a commanding view of the valley's all around it. In the middle of Cave Creek starts a path that will take you to the top, so guess who wanted to climb! We met our friends and did the 2-1/2 mile round trip hike in a little over two hours. It was a very rigorous climb for us, but it was good preparation for the Grand Canyon hike we will undertake in the fall.
After a big lunch at Harold's Steeler Bar, we both took a nice nap. I'm not sure what we will do this afternoon but I do plan to build a nice campfire this evening!
Sounds like you are getting in great shape with all the biking and hiking. I am getting caught up with you on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI was able to make reservations for David and myself for CO at the same place as everyone else. Looking forward to reading more of your adventures. Enjoy!
