I could not believe it, it was 120ºF in Tucson, but once we drove up to the Butterfly Trail trailhead, it was around 84ºF. Amazing what 8550 feet of elevation can do. What a relief from the heat. Yes, they said it is a dry heat but after few years, it gets to you. Well, this hike was our fist together. I think I pushed Alissa little too hard. You can see in some of the pictures she seems exhausted ;-)Eric T.
