Backpacking: Cabin Loop in Payson

[cycle87]

Hi there,
I am thinking backpacking this Cabin loop over this labor day weekend. Unfortunately no backpacking buddy I found, so should do solo. how difficult is it to find the route? I haven't done this before. So looking for any tips or any useful information..

Thank you so much in advance!!

Others can answer route finding. I think it depends on the area you hit so they might need to know.

Since I know you use Route Scout!
It's pretty easy to import
- import
- tap "Search or ID"
- enter 797 ( this is the ID for Cabin Loop )
- tap it when it populates
- once imported tap the file and select "follow / change off-line maps"
- then when your hiking, "begin activity" or you can use the preview map to spot check

Our route finding experience:

General Crook - we just walked the road
Fred Haught - super easy
Houston Brothers - super easy
U-Bar - road parts were not well marked. We had to check the GPS twice, I think.
Barbershop - easy

(FWIW, we're pretty good at navigating, so you may need to adjust based on your skill level)
