Via Oracle Ridge Trail with Summerhaven BenchmarkSure, it was a bit warm today, but it's nice to hike in a tank-top and shorts at elevation in March. :) The fire damage on Oracle Ridge is just heartbreaking - many ancient, old-growth evergreens perished in the fire. I took a little "sit down" immediately after leaving this summit and tore my wrist up pretty badly! That, and I broke my camera. Nice views from the top!
