When we got to the trailhead, the first thing Beck did was look at a map: she learns, she learns!
The hike itself was very nice and we had some good chances for pics - here are some of them:
Some nice views of the city; you can even see the DBacks ballpark and its open roof on that last pic. Sweet. Not so sweet - Wrigley had a great time hiking up the mountain for the first mile and a half or so, but either because of the rocks or just the hot trail, she hurt the pads on her paws and couldn't really walk for the remainder of the trip. She seems better today, though still sore. Usually Wrigley is perfectly fine on hikes, but not yesterday; we feel bad that our hiking hurt her feet, but if we made up for it at all, we did so by carrying all 34 pounds of her up and down the last peak of the trail. She is not light! Anyways, here's the sad tale of Wrigley on the trail, both having the time of and the soreness of her life. Send good thoughts her way, though I am sure she'll be back to normal in a day or two (if we can keep her from licking her paws - UGH!).
And here's a couple of award-winning goofy pictures that definitely warrant medium-size:

"Enjoying the Ride Upside-Down"
Just a rough day for the Wrisgter. She'll be resting like this for a while:
