Amazing hike in the Spur Cross recreational area. You need to be prepared before this hike! It is lengthy and snacks are recommended. I went early on the day after Christmas so not much traffic. The normal Cave Creek wash area was pleasant. I had a tough time locating the Cottonwood trail as the sign does not make it clear that you are to climb the ridge on the right to get to the trail. After this confusion, the remaining trail is well marked (with a quick stich through some grasslands - watch for cairns). I was alone, so I didn't hang on the mesa for too long with all the paw prints about.
