Just a short few miles into the ski resort village of Summerhaven. Pretty tired after the exertions of the last day, so pleased to find ‘Beyond Bread’ at the Mt Lemmon Lodge open early for coffee and a pastry.

More free coffee at the general store followed, and then a great burger for lunch at the Sawmill Restaurant.

The perversity of the trail then meant that we had to sharply descend to then have a late 2500′ climb to contend with, but the burger took care of it!

Camped at over 7000′, the wind was cutting but we found a sheltered spot on the ridge. Still, the night was very cold.
