Buena Vista Loop -S Mtn 6-13-09
#1
It's getting here but I won't complain while I know there's 25 more degrees on my AZ thermometer.

So I went with Cat up to South Mountain on Saturday before the sun set for a little hike. 4.5 miles RT and around 2hrs. Not too much elevation gain since the trail begins near the towers.
Trail takes to down in "a valley in the valley." Couple POI along the way. One, Fat Man's Pass is just a little rock area with a squeeze and a cool little slide. Did them both then continued on to The Tunnel. Lots of places to climb and squeeze. Hung out for a while there testing out skills. Finished the loop and saw the sun set.
