Hike blogging got interrupted by some schedule conflicts and bad weather. Federal district court jury duty was one interruption. Some needed rain and cold temperatures was another.

To make up for the lapse, here are two pictures from this week’s hike around Cathedral Rock.

Winter is one of my favorite seasons because of the clouds and, sometimes, fog on the rocks. Here’s a shot from early in the hike, looking east to the Mogollon Rim:

As the 4+ hour hike progressed, the weather improved. This view of Cathedral Rock is looking northwest from the Highline trail in the last hour of the hike.

Planning to take Bo and Tess on a walk later today. And if the weather cooperates hoping to hike the spectacular Hangover trail on Tuesday.
