10 mile hike, peak temperature 101⁰F (38.5⁰C).

So many mini-adventures, but I'll tell you one: Water was about half gone, so I decided to go into a ravine where there was a seasonal creek. Very slippery dry grass, so I rappelled down about 20 meters to a halfway point, retrieved the gear, then rappelled down a different direction to get to the bottom.

The creek was dry. Hiked along the creek bed for a while, then climbed out of the ravine. Microspikes for the win!
