Circumference Trail - Piestewa Peak

Hiked around P-peak again today. Introduced Miah and Cheeba to the Circumference Trail, the valley of the giants, taking photos in the golden hour. More photos here.

Miah is a good person to hike with, because he has the curiousity of an explorer "wanna check out that peak?," he has the atheltic ability to skip downhill swithbacks with a single leap, and he too enjoys the thrills of downhill trail-running, or as I like to call it, "controlled falling." He also brings Cheeba along, who is a dog that would hike all day and all night if she could (me too!) and by the smile on her face, I suspect there is a secret power in her dirt naps that she cannot tell us about. They both have the endearing quality of not talking too much while hiking, an element that is crucial to experiencing the out of doors, for me anyway.
