| no partners | | | Left trailhead at 9am Saturday Feb. 13th 2010. Arrived at camp after second creek crossing around 12:30pm (stopping at least half a dozen times to take some photos). Saw a few day hikers and overnighters leaving on our way in. Set up camp and then proceeded to boulder hop the remaining half mile to the falls. Pretty warm during the day, high temps around 70 degrees and night time low around 35 - 40. Plenty of fire wood, no bugs or any other critters. Clear sky, no moon, but could see the phoenix glow out to our west. GPS estimated about 6.25 miles to camp and another 0.5 mile to the actual waterfall. Left camp Sunday February 14th at 9am. Saw several day hikers as well as several others making their way from Reavis Canyon Ranch. Sunshine hit the campsite area as we were leaving. We reached the trailhead at 1pm. The first uphill ascent leaving the canyon could be a challenge depending on your pack weight. The last 3.5 miles is a breeze, we finshed in about 1 hour. *Note to self: do not ever leave again on a Sunday. Traffic leaving Sunday on 88 towards Apache Junction was terrible with all the old people and bikers going out for their Sunday cruise through Tortilla Flat.* Traffic coming in on Saturday was not an issue. |
