The third day of my 2026 President's Day weekend trip to Phoenix. I hiked to Flatiron, a popular and somewhat strenuous mountain outside Phoenix, before flying back in the afternoon.
The first day of my 2026 President's Day weekend trip to Phoenix. I hiked Battleship Mountain, an outstanding rock formation in the Superstition Wilderness that featured a few exciting scrambling moves along the way.
I spent a weekend in Los Angeles in early 2026. This post covers the flights there and back, along with a museum visit and a hike I enjoyed over the course of the weekend.
The fifth day of my 2025 Thanksgiving Trip to Tucson brought me to Mt. Wrightson, a prominent peak rising to the south of the city. Less technically demanding than the traverses of the Santa Catalina Mountains — such as Mt. Kimball, which I had tackled just two days prior — it nonetheless promised sweeping, rewarding views, and I was eager to see what it had to offer.
