I went on a cool lit­tle hike with a co-worker this week­end. A photo gallery is up on Flickr.

I’ve actu­ally got­ten quite a bit of hik­ing in this sum­mer. Sev­eral long –very long– day hikes and a back­pack trip or two.

This par­tic­u­lar hike was mostly a scram­ble down Pine canyon in the Santa Catalina moun­tains. We started off head­ing down the Pal­isades trail and then dropped into Pine canyon. Lots of cas­cades, falls, and pools of pre­cious water made the hike extra spe­cial. After a slight detour we con­nected with the East Fork trail and made our way past Sycamore Reser­voir and on out to Prison Camp (offi­cially named Gor­don Hirabayashi Recre­ation Site).

Another great adven­ture here in the southwest.
