After catching my breath from this climb I noticed the abandoned mine shaft just to the left of the main trail. The State of Arizona has put up a sign warning of the lethal dangers of exploring mines like these. Apparently there are quite a few other mine shafts in this area but this seemed to be the only on directly adjacent to the trail. There were quite a few small lizards and rabbits and I spotted a cactus wren feeding a hole full of peeping chicks about twelve feet up a giant saguaro. I liked this trail because it is an easy afternoon hike without a lot of switch-backs. The Go John Loop took me less than two and a half hours total with only a couple brief stops for rest and food. |
