So I got snowed on while hiking Camelback today. Well I didn't really do anything today but it would be a cool sight!

How cool would that be?

Yes, the clouds appear to have broken up and lifted. A few picture perfect cloud above the Superstitions. Yes, the mountain is still capped in snow. It's not down to the 2000 foot level anymore but it's still up there.

Nice pics Suz! I went out for some pictures at the Broadway TH this morning and it was just beautiful~~~~battery in my car went dead but a nice young man named Eric gave me a jump start. It's heartwarming to know there are still good samaritans out there.

Just drove out there this morining. Simply gorgeous.

I have a few pics - but I'm just dying because I can't go and hike it.

I'm hoping there will still be something there tomorrow that I can go and climb on.

Anyone interested?

Suz, did you get any pictures today?

I drove around the corner from me where I usually have a view of the 4 Peaks, couldn't see them today. Did lots of snow in the Bradshaws and some up by Tom's Thumb in the McDowells.

Yes, I took a couple HUNDRED pictures, broke a few laws, got a ticket, and trespassed a bit. (again) But it was all about the pictures! The poolside view here is pretty darn incredible, too.

4 peaks got blasted! I thought you would be there today...what are you thinking?

The McDowells got a pretty good dusting too. Just got back from Tom's Thumb, I'll have pics up later today.
