Skull Mesa Ruins - Sunday Nov. 14

Post by DarthStiller »

I'm thinking of taking the 247A trail way up and back. The mileage is about the same but I'm tired of hiking the other way. 16 miles RT, ~2500' AEG. Leaving Mesa at 5:30am.

Actually, its not that I would be enthused about this, it's the weighing "how bad of a bushwhack is it?" vs. "do I want to take the long way back the same way I came?". Kind of a risk/reward ratio I'm trying to figure out on this.

Unless it's grown alot the bushwhack wasn't bad. You've done plenty worse. It's just steep :o off the one mountain. If that doesn't bother you you should be good.
Tortoise Hiking. Stop and smell the Petrichor.

Looks the 3 of us for this tomorrow. Signing off for tonight, I'll check tomorrow morning when I wake up to see if there are any last minute commitments or cancellations.
