Did this trail for the first time and was super pleased. Ran into two other groups the whole trek and those were only in the first couple miles. Saw a really nice crested saguaro and the wildflowers were in bloom. Also-- lots of water. I recommend this hike. Keep watch, though, the trail sign mileage is really misleading-- don't trust it. Also, be prepared once you hit the Skunk Creek Trail. The nice little stroll you started with is over for a while!
