Humphreys peak via Inner Basin, dayhike

Locket Meadow Road opens 9/15 at 8:00, so Inner Basin approach to Humphreys summit is available again. Time to go!
I'm planning to leave Phoenix as early as about 8 am (trailhead @ 10:30) and return the same day. Hiking speed would be moderate.
Primary and preferable target date is 9/15, but it can be moved to 9/16 or 9/23 upon requests.

Hey man,
I live in Flagstaff if I wasn't getting over a cold I'd definately be in. I look forward to hearing how the road and trail are looking, I might try to do it on Sunday but I'm not sure.

I have just returned from trail, currently having the best pie in America, so I shall report. The road has a new layer of freshly graded gravel and it is absolutely sedanable. There is a "road closed" sign at the road entrance but it should be disregarded. Trail looks good too except Weatherford section along Agassiz peak where keeping balance on the slope is a little tricky.

Never stopped at Black Canyon City. My pie provider is any regular Village Inn
