SORRY... SOMETHING CAME UP SO NO HIKING FOR ME ON WED

Anyone up for a snow hike up Mt Ord this Wed. Guage up there indicates they got upwards of 2 feet on the top which means some snow for at least last 4 miles. (I've hiked it a couple times in the snow)

Mt Ord is about 30 minutes North of Fountain Hills and is a 14 mile hike (total) with nearly a 4,000 foot climb to just over 7,100 feet.

In-steps crampons are nice but not required or yaktrax traction control even better.

Send me a PM if your interested.

Old road or "new road"?

via the old jeep trail.

Forest Road isn't much fun and alot less elevation gain.
