Hiking at Dreamy Draw Rec. Area (SR-51 and Northern Ave) ~ Large Pics

I got home today from a 4 day trip and my friend called. Instead of working out, she wanted to go on a hike and I was totally for it. We got to the park and started out at 4pm and got back to the Jeep at 6:30pm. Overall it was a great hike. We started on Trail 100 and ended up on trail 1A. This lead us up some nice switchbacks and over a pretty high peak/mountain. It was sweet success making it to the top of the "summit" as they called it. We then came down the backside and tool Trail 302 (I believe) back to the 100/1A trail, basically doing a loop. I don't know how many miles we covered but we went pretty far today, I want to say more then 5 miles but less then 7 miles.

Anyway here are some pics:

If you like that view, hike camelback mountain before it gets too hot. It's great excersise. Before I moved to flag, I was doing it twice a week. Best view in Phoenix :)
