Hellsgate GPS Routes
Does anyone have a GPS route for the Hellsgate Trail from the North? The USGS quads show the old road ending on Apache Ridge. From there, the Tonto Forest map shows the trail going along Hellsgate Ridge, past El Grande Tank, and then dropping in to Hellsgate. I understand it is an easy trail to follow, but sometimes techheads like to have the route in their GPS anyway. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

In response to bchansen's reply:
I have the route in mapsource format. I'm not sure which trip it was from though. My first one we 4x4'ed as far as we could then hiked the rest of the way. But now due to some knocked out trees you can't drive in as far. If you want it just PM me your e-mail address and I'll send it tomorrow night.
But yes the trail is a piece of cake to follow. Slim to no chance of getting lost. The trail follows an old 4x4 road in the beginning but there are side paths also. usually the side trail avoids some of the hills the the road goes over just keep a lookout for those.
