Four-week-old Moonfire, taking a break and warming up when the sun broke through the clouds after a long night of heavy rains.
His mother and father are doing an amazing job protecting and watching him, and his mom never lets him out of her sight.

Now that the Sept and Oct data are (belatedly) in, it looks like 2025 will be the second warmest year in the record (~80% probability). The last three years are in a class of their own.

Apache Chief Cochise was the leader of the Chokonen band of the Chiricahua Apache in the mid-1800s. Cochise Head is a natural rock formation in the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona that resembles the profile of a sleeping face, named after the Apache chief.

Finger Rock Trail to Finger Guard—3700 feet of elevation gain and 9 miles in 8.5 hours. Strenuous, steep, and the trail disappears in places. It was 55° at 6 AM and 81° when I returned at 4:30.

Peppersauce Canyon Loop plus a few off trail adventures. This is on the backside of Mount Lemmon off the old Mount Lemmon Road.
A perfect day with Odin the Boxer. 45° at start and 66° at the finish. A four hour hike and the dog is tired. 🥰🤗
