About an hour from the turnoff.
Thought the west was 15 min more + more miles, the trade-off is less nerve-wracking, but I couldn't find where I jotted that down.

It's a lost cause, trash it up for your entertainment.

Naturally, most here are interested in Piestewa. Wednesday: A 30 percent chance of showers , mainly before 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 68. East wind around 10 mph. Wednesday Night: Showers, mainly after 11pm. Low around 55. East northeast wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New...

Started 2020 meeting a few new-to-me HAZ members out of appreciation on Pam's New Years' hike. I'm not a social butterfly but enjoyed the group hike. Posted several needed HAZ Guides. Up for grabs, in my range, were trails near Dewey-Humboldt. Along with some Skyline Park hikes, all netted more posi...

last call before fading into the color spectrum

KwaiChang was up Piano Alley on a multiday trip in 2014. If conditioning is on par and route-finding savvy, Pyramid seems attempt worthy.

I would not recommend either as introductory off-trail navigation and even less if solo. Aside from physical conditioning both have serious mental struggles. Bataan Death March up North Kaibab isn't screaming Cheops. Sorry, just looking out for your safety. You have some great triplogs, just been a ...

@Marc1024 @Andrewrdc @ScottHika @wallyfrack etc might know the post-fire condition of the trees

Tough getting out of Wide World of Maps without purchasing a necessity. However, looks like your nearest Tempe store does not carry topos.

I've never used greentrails, perhaps better?

Glad you weren't contemplating the pre-edit :lol: Utah Flats is middle & below view in the edit or blends in. It's not really a concern. The eastern slope of Cheops in view is the common approach. Most hike low near the edge. It gets old and potentially one bad step from a bad day/life in a couple o...

Utah Flats is lower-right but it is mostly out of view in that photo.

Personally, I'd avoid the bridge.
Bridge view from plateau => [ photo ]

We hiked high up on the west and low on the east [ gps route ]

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Oct. 14, 2020 — Coconino National Forest will begin selling a limited number of Christmas tree permits online starting tomorrow (Oct. 15), and permit owners will be allowed to begin cutting Nov. 16 through Dec. 24. A total of 1,050 permits will be available for purchase on the Coc...

Outrageously dwindled from 2013 or 2.8 billion before 5am? Ranger Elyssa brought up some interesting points about this type of activity during a chat before the condor talk at IG ... though she was talking about the relatively normal R2R2R. She said that so many people are now trying to run the R2R2...

If you go, let us know what you find out Indeed. I looked earlier, and can only fathom that milege is down through the Rincon which is the same district? I tried calling. Only a loop recording to call 911 for emergencies and check online for info. The last news release on Oct 2nd links to a Sept 17...

Hopefully, the Sonoran Eskimos don't get the numbing cold they desire.
Will the record highs flip to record lows with all the burned vegetation loss?

Bruce & I ran the exact same model Garmin Oregon 450t, same settings and had variances up to 10%. My Garmin Fenix never matched my Garmin Oregon. In all fairness, I did not try putting my Oregon on my wrist nor my Fenix in my pocket. There are a plethora of variables involved. Phones used as cameras...
