Morning, and the wind is ripping-away roofing, crashing about large potted plants - while bringing blooming Yucca to their knees... This is just how things are I thought to myself, as one must continually go into all kinds of weather as part the trekking life. The Dragoons, with a mild (yet steep) Hike & 4x4 pin-stripping adventure were on the mid-week block - regardless!

It's a 90 minute drive one-way to the beginning (my chosen trailhead point) of the hike-about up Soren Camp Road (FR 345A) from my place. It seems that this route should be tucked away on the lee side of the range - at least until just below Soren Pass and the topside which is much like a mini-mesa @ about 7,000'. The surrounding Madrean Sky Islands were all but obscured by the amount of dust mixed with smoke from minor continual fire outbreaks around the Huachuca Mountains. None-the-less the view from the top was spectacular to say the least! Headin' back out to the 'Goons' Friday to kick-about on the lower portion of the western slope...in the shadow of the Sheepshead perhaps. Avg. Grade 70.8% GPS Route Available

Note: The GPS Route associated with this Triplog is located at 'Soren Camp' which also functions as the Trailhead for Cochise Peak Trail seen to the ESE of the well structure...

As was apparent by the number of free-range cattle in the area, this source is full and reliable at this time.
