This part of the AZT was recently dedicated to the memory of Gabe Zimmerman. There are a couple memorials to him as well as signage about the area. My partner Kath and I parked in the large lot (no restrooms) and walked along the Northern Trail to the 3 Bridges. Walking in sandy creek bed with some water flow. A beautiful day, sunny and warm. Lots of huge barrel cacti, prickly pear and some saguaros high up along the cliffs. I think this would be a beautiful walk when the fall leaves come out.

I found someone's iPhone just as we started our hike and tried to find them to no avail. We were able to call her family on the phone (luckily it wasn't locked) and actually ran into her and her 2 sweet Goldens just as we were exiting the trail. That was a happy event!
We would like to return and go on the Southern part next time as we understand it's a lovely meandering section of the trail and easy to walk.
I loved being here and felt Gabe's spirit as we walked.
