Linda and I hiked a little over eight miles on Friday. Starting from the Wagner Trail, we hiked Wagner, left on Granite, down Bluff to Stoneman Wash, then south on Stoneman Wash. We hiked through the competitive track area, and then returned via Cinch, Pemberton, and Tortoise.
The view shortly before sunrise…

It was a very mellow rattler. Just quietly slithered off into some brush.
