Re: Injured hiker spends night on Usery Mountain
It is actually on the Windcave trail on Pass Mountain not Usery Mountian

Sigh. Hairdos. They never do get it right. Glad the guy got some help pretty quick.

Re: Injured hiker spends night on Pass Mountain
I will never second guess the rescue teams, but I might second guess the reporting. Seems like there should be more than a leg injury involved to stay overnight, or perhaps he tried to get up on the ridge-line. I haven't yet hiked the Wind Cave trail but I know it isn't that long.

Re: Injured hiker spends night on Pass Mountain
Went on Sat. to hike that trail with my son. Bought a Tonto pass in town( opps) ended up hiking by Lonely Mountain instead.

Re: Injured hiker spends night on Pass Mountain
Sounds like it was a good thing his cell phone worked, and according to this article, he didn't call Rescue. His friends did...azbackpackr wrote:Glad the guy got some help pretty quick.

We're your friends. We would each grab you under an arm and drag you down hill on your butt. You are out of luck if we have to drag you uphill. We would help you write a new will.big_load wrote:If I ever get hurt, I sure hope I don't have to depend on the goodwill of those who commented on those articles.

You were taking cholla closeups with your butt?
