Guests, Kevin, Li, Tom, Carl, and Anna.

Thanks to those who joined me for this spectacular super bloom wildflowers this year. It was a fun, challenging, amazing hike with you. They are Anna, Carl, Li, Lin, Tom, Kevin, and our guests: Pranvmna, Akshay. We started from the Hunter Trailhead to the Saddle and climbed to Picacho Peak summit. After leaving the summit, we crossed over the ridge to the backside of the mountain, and followed Sunset Vista Trail to Sunset Vista Trailhead, a total of 5.1 Miles. Two hikers reached the Saddle and then returned to the Hunter Trailhead, for a total of 2.5 miles.
