| partners | | Since Tracey wasn't able to hike Adams Mesa with me at the beginning of the month and I had not graced the summit of the eastern peak that seemed like a good choice... until we got out of the car and saw the rain front coming in and plenty of lightning strikes. But with the expectation of a clearing later in the day we decided to do some 4x4 recon seeking out other interesting spots in the Sycamore Creek area. We began our hiking day in the Agua Chiquita Spring area then returned to Adams Mesa once the skies cleared.
Our Agua Chiquita Spring hike triplog is here:

Since we were only going to climb the eastern-most peak of Adams Mesa this trip we parked east of the peak just off Forest Road P1007, which made for a pretty quick hike. We managed to traverse the dense cholla field with only a few incidents on the way up. We took what appeared to be the more moderate southern slope to the summit but once on top we found the northern slope was cholla-free so we took that for the return trip. Having started the day with a wet hike it was great to finish off with a hike under clear skies.
I'll be posting some of the photos here on HAZ, the full set of 28 are here:
