fine views by adenium  Overview White Horse Lake Campground is a nice little spot in the Kaibab National Forest and affords easy access to recreation around the upper Sycamore Canyon drainage. Two trails provide family-friendly hiking in the immediate area around the campground. These are the White Horse Lake Loop #33 and this trail, which is a spur off of the White Horse Lake Loop. The suggested starting point for this hike is the north side of the loop where plenty of parking in available. Hike Starting out on the White Horse Loop, you will have a view across White Horse Lake. Soon the trail turns north into the ponderosa pine forest. Within half a mile of starting on the White Horse Loop, you will arrive at trail junction with the Canyon Overlook Trail. From here, the trail dips down into a drainage that you'll see again at the end of the trail, and then The trail is fairly level with only a couple of real ups and downs. A few dead falls exist along the route, but nothing that presents a real challenge. At roughly the 1 mile mark, the trail ends at the rim of Sycamore Canyon, with fine views down into the canyon. You can continue off trail to the east for a short ways along a peninsula of land between Sycamore Canyon and the small drainage (now a canyon) that you passed through earlier.

Canyon Overlook Trail #70
Saw a javelina. I did not expect that, as I thought they were desert dwellers. Also saw a great blue heron and a herd of horses.
At first, I thought the stallion of the herd had lost its mind. Later I figure it was trying to impress the ladies in feats of strength and endurance. The ladies were having none of it.
Each of the 5 mares had a young foal and kept kicking at the stallion whenever it got close!
Distance includes the Overlook Trail 70.

Well things just didn't work out so I decided to head on home. I forgot my sleeping bag and my air mattress was to big for my tent.
The one hike I did get in was beautiful and the weather was nice with some light sprinkles that worked there way in my tent. I did see Pam on the trail as we headed out and she was returning.
I did meet a few hikers I never met before they all knew Rowdy so it was easy to figure out who I was.

Better Late than Never I guess... 
I did 9 Hikes on this Trip, but I decided to just do the one Photoset with the Camping, Driving and Highlights from 8 Short Hikes and a longer one, that turned just a Tad Epic in the last 4 Miles... I went up on Thursday, and hit a couple of Areas in Flag before getting to Camp after Dark.... I headed for the Barn on Sunday, although from Camp, I think it took me about 3 1/2 Hours to get to Flag because of some pretty Sweet Storm and Sunset Action along the Way....
Chumley always puts on a Great Event and his Attention to Detail is Unrivaled. Nonot's Fires with Chumley's Wood Contributions did not Disappoint. It was Great to see Old Friends again and Meet some of the Newer HAZ Faces out there... Thanks for Organizing this Todd...
Awesome Weekend with Good People and Sweet Hikes and some Amazing Wildlife along the Way... What did the Fox say? "Na Na, Nana Na! You didn't get a Photo of me!"](./dex2/images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall")
