It was a glorious day with clear sky views of 4 peaks, Usery Mountains, Mt. Lemon, Gold Canyon, and the entire valley of the sun. By far the highlight of our trip to AZ. And anytime you end the day with dinner at Mattas, you can call it good.

Flat Iron, Superstition Mountain, Lost Dutchman State Park
On New Years Eve we like to do something physically challenging to end/start the year. Plus with the 70 degree weather down in AZ we were trying to spend every waking hour outdoors. This year we met up with my parents and uncle Gail and his posse for the quad busting, rock scrambling, steep pitch to the top of the Flat Iron. Only 2.5 miles to the top, but one of the hardest 2.5 miles of your life. We have completed this hike 3 times before, but this was by far the hardest for me. Maybe being 21 weeks pregnant had something to do with it. . . nah.

WAIT A MINUTE! I THOUGHT THERE WAS NO MORE MATTAS. Has it reopened?
