Saturday, October 30, 2010 - Shaw Butte - Phoenix, AZ
This trail is not for the faint of heart. The trail is a mixture of smooth and rocky terrain. The increase in elevation will definitely get your heart rate up quickly. We opted to hike to both the tower locations which means lots of uphill hiking definitely what we need to work on with our upcoming hike down & back out of the Grand Canyon in March. When we were hiking back down we saw some hang gliders driving their gear to the top the mountian. Hmmmmm...could this be our new adventure to try in the future?
The views of the city below are pretty breath taking. We also saw some very cool petroglyphs on our descent which makes you wonder what these pictures are trying to tell us.
