Eleven people, including Darleen Lindquist, Jeannie & Tom Van Lew,
Julia and Mike Staley, Gerry Kinley, Tim Stone (guest), Joyce Parrish,
Kay Fitting, Jim & Michelle Kransberg hiked Camelback Mountain on
the Cholla Trail. Kay Fitting and Joyce Parrish and led the hike.
Having never led a hike before, Kay and Joyce climbed Cholla Trail
January 22 also, so they would be prepared for leading a hike the
following week. Now they are experts.
We all met promptly at 7:45 AM at the Red Robin at Los Arcos in
Scottsdale and carpooled to Inverness to park before a short walk
to the trailhead. The trail is gradual at the beginning with a very
steep climb shortly before the top. Lots of boulder climbing.
We were so prompt in leaving Los Arcos that we missed a couple, Dave
and Yu-Ling Langford, and as we reached the top, so did they –
from the Echo Canyon Trail.
