Saturday, June 4: Rattlesnake Ledge

Distance: 6.4 km at least.

Pace: About 2 mph
Weight: 18-pound backpack
Weather: Overcast, 70s-80s
Elevation gain: at least 1,160 feet. (Washington Trails Assn.)
Accumulation elevation gain for 2016: 42,648 feet. 
Accumulated distance hiked: 306.377 km

Note: The pace was the Mountaineers' "moderate" rate, which I've had trouble with in the past. I'm curious as to whether the high altitude of Arizona last week compensated for lack of strenuous hiking, or whether my body just needed a break.
