already been there....looking for the next best thing with camping potential (and not as many people) ....
My dad lives in cave creek and I have a buddy who just moved to fountain hills. Hopefully I will be out there for good in a year. I wont tolerate more than one more winter in Chicago! I just love the outdoors too much. I appreciate your input (and everybody elses)regarding west clear creek and the other trails, but i'm still kinda torn on what trail to hike/camp while i'm out there! Will West Clear creek be too Hot to camp and hike? Should I consider inner basin or another trail more up north? HELLLP! My girlfriend and I hiked west fork in December. This trip i'm taking her to the Grand Canyon to do a day hike, camp up top somewhere, and then we wanted to backpack a trail (we were thinking around sedona, because we loved West fork so much, but it really doesn't matter where we hike/camp. All my girlfriend knows of Arizona, thus far, is the valley and Sedona areas, so I wouldn't mind changing the channel a little either. (flag,payson...ect) Personally, all that matters to me is finding a beautiful trail , preferably not very populated, following a creek would be ideal (or ending at a creek), where we could hike, set up camp and explore. Anyway, thanks for your input, you have been very informative! I cant wait to live in Arizona so I can start knocking out every trail one by one!!!!!
