Re: General 2-3 night backpacking options AZ/NV/CA in Jan
The road to sheep bridge is very rough and rocky, but the rocks are small, you just rattle your bones for like 50 minutes once you leave the pavement. Don't go with bad quality tires and bring a full sized spare just in case and I think you'll be fine. You can park at the top of the hill once you ge...

The Mazzies escaped this years' fires. With the warmer weather we've been having, I might recommend to start at sheep bridge, loop with mountain spring, and hang out along the Verde river for an extra day or two.

Another option to consider I thought of this morning would be the Mazatzal Wilderness - for the trails along the Verde river.

Re: Hiking partner
In general people seem to do best to meet new people on HAZ by posting a group event for a specific hike on a specific day, but I hope you can find a partner!

About the only thing that came to mind after reading your post was Big Bend National Park. Though I'd suggest to check for water reports first.

Re: Bell on a Bicycle
Remember bicyclist yield to hikers and horses. I'm all for everyone yielding to equestrians, but realistically as both a hiker and mountain biker, I've always found the other part troublesome. Example: If a biker is approaching a hiker from behind and the hiker does not yield, what is the biker sup...

The beartooth map is pretty solid, so I guess that's the third vote for it so far.

Re: AZT and border wall
It seems to me the main point of the article Chums posted, is that installation of the new wall in environmentally protected areas (the place it was generally able to be built without dealing with local land ownership issues - since the government owns that land), has done more to harm the animals a...

Re: FR 294 Redfield Canyon
FR691 is strictly 4x4. It's also the only road that takes you all the way to Jackson Cabin and the Redfield Wilderness which is what I interpret you mean in terms of getting to "Redfield Canyon" and your reference to that road. I would like to help but can't find FR294 on the map after a few minutes...

Re: Hollin Basin (Molino Canyon)
There's two existing triplogs to that area (Pivo and Grottogirl) that I found, but nobody has written a description for it. If you want to share information about a hike you think others will love, I encourage you to write up a new guide for HAZ.

Re: Salt Trap Road leading to Safford-Morenci Trailhead
Solomon Pass is a very rocky road. Super high clearance is not needed but moderate high clearance is needed, unless the road up Solomon Pass has eroded more since February. Going over Solomon Pass has a bit of pucker factor in which you must commit and cannot turn around. While I wouldn't recommend ...

Re: Advice on 2-night backpacking trip in the Superstitions?
Boulder Canyon to Second Water is about 4 miles and 1200 ft AEG Bluff Springs Trail from Peralta TH to Dutchman Intersection (basically to Bluff Springs) is: 3.3 miles and 950 ft AEG. Statistically it is a little easier but in my opinion that first hill on Bluff Springs makes it just slightly harder...

Re: Advice on 2-night backpacking trip in the Superstitions?
Hmmm, if your day 1 plan is to take Dutchman to Bluff springs trail - that route trades longer miles for a less steep hike, and is also enjoyable. Bluff springs probably still makes a good target for day 1 based on your history/ability from your prior trip, and that day 1 route may be slightly easie...

Re: Advice on 2-night backpacking trip in the Superstitions?
Boulder Canyon trail starts out tough for backpackers with the climb from the marina parking, and the rock hop towards the end. Being beginner backpackers you probably learned about new muscles you didn't know you had. Bluff springs starts out with a really rough steep climb from the parking area, b...

Apparently the structure has already been removed, but nobody has owned up to the removal yet.

Re: I was waiting for Aliens--- They're here!
I am selfishly hoping the opposite, if enough SAR calls are in the area they will likely have to improve the road infrastructure, making areas of the Hayduke trail far easier to access!chumley wrote:I hope the white dots get painted quickly so visitors can easily find their way from the road and limit SAR use.

Within the first few miles. I don't remember many good campsites once you begin to climb in earnest.
