Eagle Creek, Painted Bluffs, Blue River trip

Post by azdesertfather »

Interested in seeing some of eastern Arizona this summer? I'm hoping to put together a trip or two out into this area for those looking to see something new. Some amazing and remote area of the state from Morenci to the New Mexico border, along the Grand Enchantment Trail, including areas like Eagle Creek, the Painted Bluffs, the Blue River & Maple Peak (not necessarily in one trip).

Anyone with an interest, post here or PM me, and we can start to figure out something out.

So nobody can sign up until you assign a date, I think...

I am interested in some of those areas.

I could be convinced into going and providing Shuttle Service for some of those... :D

nonot, just looking for people interested in going. Once I know who is interested and have an idea of my availability and others, will be more specific.

I will say this will likely be a couple of trips, and juanjaimeiii and I will do a car swap and hike in opposite directions... I'll go west to east, he will go east to west. We will both go at a fairly good clip (though nothing crazy).
