Sign at Bear/Alder Saddle on Four Peaks/AZT 20?

Post by Sredfield »

Tonto National Forest received a healthy grant to work on the Four Peaks Passage, AZT 20 or FT 130. There may be sufficient funds to continue improving the signs along the passage. I've found a lot of sign photos on HAZ but seem to remember one in pretty sad shape at Bear Saddle or maybe it was called Alder Saddle because that is the creek going south from there. (33.676001 -111.310911)

I've looked thru a lot of the posts here but don't find a picture. Does anyone have one?

Thanks!
Shawn

I've been up Alder Saddle Trail-- its decommissioned and doesn't really exist anymore. The last time I was out there (2012), the sign was laying on the ground.

I have a picture of the Alder Saddle Trail #81/Four Peaks Trail #130 junction sign from March 7, 2015. It seemed fine then. I also have a picture of the Chillicut Trail #132/Four Peaks Trail #130 junction sign. It also seems fine, though trail #132 looks really overgrown. The pictures aren't on HAZ, and I don't have a readily available link online to them.

@rcorfman
You could attach them to a PM and send them directly to sredfield?
