45 people attended the hike, 20 participated in the Summit Scramble
Wapiti pro Staff Kevin Miquelon and scramble expert, Ralph Pfremmer, led the group on a 5 mile hike in to the desert with professional guide Bruce Corey of "Canyon Tough" out of Scottsdale AZ. Hikers learned about the dessert wildlife and fauna, then retreated to the "homestead" for reflection and meditation. Later, the summit scramble challenged those who wanted to "team climb" ridges with over 500 feet of vertical gain. All made it to the top, all made it to the bottom safely.

Is that the JW Marriot Starr Pass? It is a swank place.

Yep. It is swank. A quick story. Strategically placed near the foothills, away from any other merchants. Each day around 5:00 the group would retreat to the patio where the Havalina's would come out to feed around dusk. The staff would let them come in, then chase them off. There must have been 50 of those porkers out there at once. Anyway, the entrepreneurs would take turns buying glasses of wine for each other and putting it on their room tab. Only to find out later how expensive it was. 17 bucks for a glass of Pinot, friend Steve loved the VSOP until the 33 dollar bowling ball came...I am taking a second job.
