This weekend, in celebration of my sister being home from Spain, we hiked the Siphon Draw Trail in the Superstition Mountains. It was one of the most difficult and beautiful hikes I've ever done. We only got halfway before we had to stop - but it won't be that way next time.

The monsoon season is in full tilt right now, and a big storm was centered over the valley. Luckily, it didn't rain on us too hard, and it sprouted a rainbow right as we reached the top.
