I have been debating on doing the South Mountain Ridgeline Trail after I finished hiking the Superstition Ridgeline Trail. I was a little worried about the heat but I have seen an opportunity when the weather on my day off was the lowest temperature of the week before it gets to 90 degrees in the valley.
I woke up at 3:45 am on this day and drove to the west side of the South Mountain. I started hiking the trail at 5:30 am. How I miss the sunrise hikes! Looking at the map, it feels like I don't make any progress but I was actually am. The city views and nature all around me are very pretty although the noise of the plane and some traffic is there. What a beautiful mountain inside the city! I really didn't need the pole unlike when I was doing the Superstition Ridgeline. I was making a good time until at the last two miles when my toes started rubbing at each other. I wanted to check out some more areas that are a little bit out of the trail but I didn't' want to add more mileage and suffer more from hurting toes. I am so lucky to have an awesome friend, Isaiah who picked me up at the east side of the mountain. Right after snacks with my friend, I went to REI to get the toe covered socks so I have it ready with me next time.

This is my local mountain. I've hiked close to a 1000 miles on this mountain though I've never done the whole ridgeline in one hike. Thanks for the vid, you have a lot of nice vids.

@tytraveling917 I will definitely come back to check out the other trail. I've seen there's a lost ranch and some ruins that look cool to check out. You have a nice backyard!

Nice video 😎👍 So, you went all National Trail? 😱 There used to be a coyote den by the first mine shaft you found there, they used to have a very loud coyote party at sunset 😂 Yeah, I also question myself why in the world I have to wake up so early to go hiking 🥱😴😩🤣

Oh wow! I have not seen any cayotes, but a lot of other critters and birds. On the last few hours of the trail, I have seen two squirrel and a bird hanging out 😅 I thought that was really cool to witness!
