Arizona Trail: Hutch's Pools

Blissful heads into stunning Sycamore Canyon, where the mountains seems to part and reveal the final sky island. 

In this episode:

1. Blissful awakens as the moon sets, sleeping out in the open between two mountain ranges – the Rincon and Santa Catalina. 
2. It's a winding trail, up and down and after such a long and hard day before, she's tired and her heart skips a beat before beating hard and fast. 
3. Blissful handles her SVT with a rest and a beta blocker, then heads steeply up and over a pass down to Molina Campground where she takes water and leftover hiker food left in a designated locker by the road. 
4. And also takes  a hitch, only a short two miles but enough to change the entire day. 
5. A perfect day on switchbacks sidling deep canyon walls down to a deep river lined with fluorescent green trees. 
6. Again, it's a night out again sleeping in a sandy wash like a cowgirl. 

MUSIC: Introduccion y allegro by Carlos Guastavino as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano
