There's the sign at the main trail entrance. 

 

The start of Trail #100.

 

View looking back at visitor center from start of Trail #100.

 

There is the destination at the top of that mountain where the antennas are.

 

You can see from my shadow that the sun is getting low in the sky.

 

Now I am on the ridge along 7th streat heading to the base of North Mountain.

 

There's the ridge trail along 7th street as I head to North Mountain.

 

There's lookout mountain in the distance.

 

Finally, I reach the road that leads to the top of North Mountain.

 

There's a view of Piestewa Peak from the road up North Mountain.

 

There's a view of the Phoenix skyline as I head up North Mountain.

 

The road is fairly steep with plenty of hikers out for their exercise.

 

There's the view looking Northeast as I get closer to the top.

 

View looking west as I get closer to the top.

 

 

View of the top as I get closer

 

There's the view through the gate at the top. 

 

There's the view from the end of the road at the antenna gate.  No trespassing here.

 

The sun is setting as I start heading down the mountain road.

 

Now the sun has gone down and I am still hiking down the mountain.  Luckily the moon is bright tonight!
