My pants were wet, but I figured they would dry under the rain pants. However, I was hesitant to actually wear the new rain pants since there are a lot of grabby and pokey things reaching into the trail like mesquite. I didn\u2019t want to destroy the pants the first time I used them. My fears were realized as the vegetation seemed much more attracted to the rain pants than my hiking pants, but I just did my best to shoo them away with my hiking poles, but it was a constant battle. The trail is frequently overlapped with vegetation.<\/p><p>Off the ridge, I quickly began to run out of steam. When I turned uphill again, I was almost dead in the water. I tried some electrolyte tabs and they immediately picked me up and I powered up the next mountain ridge.<\/p><p>The Superstitions were a bit rocky and rugged with cliffs and rock prominences. I couldn\u2019t fully see everything due to the low clouds and weather, but it was nice terrain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57e04a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-penci-image-gallery\" data-id=\"57e04a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"penci-image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div data-sliderid=\"38438\" id=\"penci-image_gallery_38438\"\n             class=\"penci-block-vc penci-image-gallery penci-image-gallery-s1 pencisc-grid-2 pencisc-grid-tablet-2 pencisc-grid-mobile-1\">\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"penci-block_content  pencisc-grid\">\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-1\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_11-03-22_14-19-52-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_11-03-22_14-19-52-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-2\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_11-03-22_14-41-59-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_11-03-22_14-41-59-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-3\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_11-03-22_15-08-21-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_11-03-22_15-08-21-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-4\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_11-03-22_15-14-36-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_11-03-22_15-14-36-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-5\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_11-03-22_15-17-18-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_11-03-22_15-17-18-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-6\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_11-03-22_15-34-23-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_11-03-22_15-34-23-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-902bff9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"902bff9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A few more ups and downs and it was getting late in the day. I grabbed water at a stream crossing and decided to get the next tent spot. I had to hike for a bit to find somewhere slightly sheltered. There were many open places, but I expected those would get very cold with the weather clearing overnight. With darkness approaching, I found a good enough spot beneath some pines.<\/p><p>I set up camp and ended up getting in my tent shortly thereafter since my feet were getting cold. This was actually the first time of the trip they got wet, but it was quickly approaching freezing as night closed in.<\/p><p>I hid in my sleeping bag and got warmed up and had dinner. Hiep rolled in and set up as well. When I got out of my tent around 8 to pee before bed, my rain pants which I had left hanging on the tent were already frozen solid. That didn\u2019t take long, and the temperature was dropping quickly. I knew I would have some gear issues in the morning, but there was nothing I could do about it other than keep my water filter warm. Expecting a cold night, I closed down my tent and went to bed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66b8e54 elementor-widget
