Today we hiked up to flatiron. We parked in the restaurant parking lot. There is a trail sign in the north west corner of the lot. Its very cool of the owner to allow us to park there and make a trail for us. I'm going to stop in for dinner soon.

Do you mean I can park in the restaurant parking lot? I going to hike Flatiron in the morning.

There is huge blocks of cement blocking the lot as of last sunday. I never could make it to the end with my Subaru so I always parked on the road by the electrical box. Also all along the road at the end are signs that state private road.

The one for siphon draw.

Its been awile since I been to Mckillips. When I was there last week there were all kinds of signs and the lot was blocked off. Whats going on? Can I still park on the road?

9L, easy peakbagging ;)

Our april family big camping adventure is coming up and I was thinking Joshua tree or Chiricahua but I cant decide. I have 4 days to camp (in a tent) and hike around. I will be with the kids so short fun hikes are a must. I dont know both are so cool. Is Chiricahua Nat Monument big enough for a 4 da...

I"am thinking about a trip in late march. I guess I'll have to take a 3 day weekend.

Oh I see. An overniter is easyer to plan so, how about a loop boucher to tonto then up hermit?

Thanks for the sugestions, I think I'am going to do a trip from Hermit to bright angel with a side trip to the river by way monument creek. It says in the HAZ it 11.5 from hermit to bright angle. It will be an easy overniter so ill have plenty of time to explore.

So I've done the corrador loop 2x and been out to ribbon falls. Whats the next step in Grand Canyon Hiking?

Thanks! What I saw was them serving it family style. Makes sense now. Its my wife first time to the Canyon and all she can think about is whats for dinner.

I know its an old post but... Is the stew big enough for my wife and I or should I reserve 2 meals? I remember seein the stew looking realy big when I was there last.

I was driving on fr 64 (I think) in payson today and came across the trailhead parking area. I thought I would come home and find out more info on the trail but I cant find anything. Has anyone been hiking on this trail.

I like it! I think we have a winner.

Over memoral day weekend I'am planning to doing an overnite trip in the Searra Ancha. What trails would be good to link up for a loop around 20 mi.

Reasonably ~ 100-120$ priced accomodations . Large rooms. Central location. Bus stop at the street!
Have stayed here a few times and it has worked out OK

Thanks that looks like a nice place. I like that its in town, we can stroll around in the evenings.

We are going with the kids so hiking all day may not work that well. If it was just me i could sleep anywhere. We plan on staying on the shorter trails, splashing in the water. We dont mind camping but we usualy dont stay in campgrounds. I'am going to look at hotels, cabins, resorts ect.

I'am planning a trip to Zoin in october with the family. We like to camp so I'am trying to find the best places. We would also consider cabins. The 2 parks that are in the park dont look that great ( as per you tube ). Are they better then they look on tv? Are there any others? Where your favorite p...
