A javalina hung around camp during the night, but it didn\u2019t cause me any trouble. They can get aggressive at times I\u2019ve heard.<\/p>

I haven\u2019t been setting my alarm since I\u2019ve been waking up naturally at close enough to the right time with the long nights. This morning I awoke right around sunrise which is later than usual. I rushed to pack up in about a half hour to hit the trail before it got too hot.<\/p>

I topped off with water at the spring near camp and took off. The trail has been rocky, so it was a little slower going than normal, but I had plenty of time to hit my goal so it wasn\u2019t a big deal. The trail followed the high ridge of the Mazatzal range, going over the shoulders of most of the mountains. The mountains got rugged and rocky with different stark colors of rock at times, and were very scenic to walk under. I took lots of pictures as I have through this entire area.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
