Hiking Hayden Butte ("A" Mountain)

Last weekend, in honor of it being ASU homecoming (ASU is undefeated by the way!), we decided to hike Hayden Butte, where the big "A" is painted. It's really not that much of a mountain, more like a really steep hill that's rocky. But I was sure sore the next day! No switchbacks, it just goes straight up.




The view from the top. That's the Phoenix skyline in the distance.







A dried out cactus. Sometimes not even THEY can survive the dry heat apparently.
