So, do you think the wreckage could be seen by hiking over there to Cape Solitude with some decent binocs?

Oh, one other question; there is a pullout about a half mile (or less) north of Grasshopper Pt on 89A; it looks like there's a trail that leads up to that northern spur of one of the "Mittens"; that looks like it might be fun and a good viewpoint for sunset or sunrise. I see a trail going ...

Hello All! Going to be in Sedona for a full day either Sunday or Monday. Question; since I don't know the orientation of some of these features, where would be the best place for (a) sunrise and (b) sunset? I been looking at Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Mitten Ridge, Robbers Roost, Bear and Wilson Mts...

I am planning on bringing 5 of the kids and doing something in the Chiracahua. Looks like there's a little bad weather today (per a forecast for Bowie), but after that it's good weather forecast through next Tuesday. Take a shuttle to the top and do various paths up there and down tot hte VC. Coming...

I'm a little bummed out right now. That little storm that came through last couple days dumped 6 inches on the visitor center at Chiracahua and more higher up, and the park road to the top is closed right now. We have a week to go, but looking a little bleak. Any other suggestions for SOMETHING to d...

Some rangers are better than others, of course. Seasonal rangers are the least predictable. Sometimes great, sometimes horrid. You have to understand where they are coming from, I guess. Some of them drink the ranger coolaid and will tell you, "No, there's no user trail up that peak." when...

Just had a 40 minute convo with a Ranger at Chiracahua--man, she was on top of everything. Gave me places to stay and everything. Great stuff

Yep--that's my plan is to drive 12 hours or so Sunday and stay in either Bowie or Portal, or just car camp somwheres, and then hit it Monday morning; be done by 1 and head up to the game. I know, cutting it close, but if I don't see the first few minutes of the 6 p.m. game, what the hey!

Hmm. Well of course i will be in touch with the Rangers on the weather issue, but sounds like I should plan a backup hike in the Supes.

Awesome--thanks so much!

Looks like the shuttle goes up there at 8:30; say I get there about 9. Massai Point to and around the Heart of Rocks loop looks like about 8 miles? And I would have 5 hours to do it in--seems like plenty of time. Is that a more worthwhile hike than going down through Echo Canyon?

Elevation gain is no problem. I guess I am really looking for great views, something interesting, etc. I will have from early morning 'til about 2 p.m. I am very intrigued by the idea of getting a shuttle up to Massai Point in the Chiracahua, and then hiking all the way down and around the Heart of ...

Thanks, Arizonans! Keep them coming. Seeing if I can find Dragoons and Battleship TRs.

Hello Arizonans! We're coming to Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl, and wanted a hike convenient to our route (I-10 into Phoenix). I am at the beginning of my research on this, and have looked into the Chiracahua Mts., the Huachaca Mts. and the Santa Ritas, but I am thinking about trying to do something i...
