Highline Trail, Geronimo to Wash. Park Sun. May 15

Post by DarthStiller »

Continuing on to the next section of the Highline Trail that I have yet to complete, I want to hike from the Gernonimo TH to the Washington Park TH. This one will be done as a shuttle hike and Wally has so far agreed to serve as the 2nd driver. If we get a large enough of a group for this, we may need more drivers. Total distance is I believe 9.4 miles as noted by tonyp in his book. Leaving Mesa at 5:30am. Should be starting to get warm in the Valley around this time, so heading up north should begin to sound inviting.

They just flagged the Highline last month for the 50 mile run they do every year.

I was at Washington park yesterday and 3 non 4wd trucks got stuck in the last 1/2 due to the 10-12 inches of new gravel they put down. They dug down about 6-8 inches

only 50% bail, that's pretty good. I stopped setting up hikes once it got to 90% bail rate. Of course, the facebook rates are 90% maybe, 0% show.
