My constant search for flowing water in Arizona led me to check out Massacre Falls! I had hiked this trail about a decade ago and didn't find the falls. This time around the trail is very well marked and travelled. The only area where it got sketchy was up at the top just before you dip down again to the falls. There are alot of cairns up there, not all of them make sense. We saw at least three other groups, each of which was making their own path thru that section. We followed Joe Bartels' GPS track to the dot and made it thru with no problems. That overlook on the top is where I got lost(ish) 10 years ago... back then we bushwhacked our way up there, the trails were faint and the cairns were more confusing (it seemed). I remember seeing the falls (dry at the time, but we saw the stain) and thinking "that's where I want to be!" But it looked a LOT farther away than it actually is.

The falls are flowing nicely right now and the creek is beautiful! There was a big patch of ice up there under the shade of the falls.
