Temp was 78 at start, 90 at end. Sunny with steady SW wind 10-20mph.
Easy hike along dry and somewhat bushy trails. Mesquites are growing and their branches are hanging in the trail - caution is advised for bikers and equestrians! Not much bird activity, no animals spotted but we saw quite a few lizards. All in all an uneventful, warm but pleasant hike.
