Peter's Canyon loop DEC 13-14th

Post by te_wa »

I posted this trip on another site (ABC) with a limit of 10 people. So far, 5 dropped out and there is room for 5 more. I doubt that 5 more from that group will sign up. So here is the offer:
This trip starts at Tortilla Ranch and takes Peter's Trail to the canyon and begins off-trail from there. Where the trail heads up Peter's Mesa we will remain in the creekbed and follow it about 3 miles to Pistol Canyon, and then take a ridge just above Pistol Cyn. to the top of the Mesa. Off trail heading in the direction of Music Canyon will bring us back to the Peter's Trail and follow it to Labarge spring. Camp at Labarge. Return either a) on the Peter's Trail or b) take Red Tanks to Hoolie Bacon back to the trucks.

I did this loop w/ Nonot last Dec. and it was fun. Some cool canyons and man-made features to enjoy. See ya there..

My tarp almost did become airborne......next time I'm running ahead so I can pick a spot I can actually stake down into : P That sucked trying to use rocks to hold my tarp down.......50 mph gusts > 10 pound rocks who woulda thunk it : P Least I stayed dry (wish I could say that for some of my stuff). Still awesome trip......Peter's trail is pretty wicked.
