On September 19th, our scouts arrived at our campsite at around 8:00 pm. The Venture Patrol left camp at midnight to hike to the peak and watch the sunrise from the highest point in Arizona. The next day, our younger scouts began a shorter hike to the saddle. The scouts decided to form two groups; one hiked about three miles up the mountain and the other hiked around four miles up. Later, when we were all back at camp, we celebrated the birthday of two different scouts who still decided to go on the outing.

“It turns out the hike to the saddle is six miles each way, and not a six-mile round trip” – overheard on the hike
