| no partners | | | I took this trip on Sept 30, 2012 as a way to get out and do a little hiking and off roading. I loaded up my jeep headed towards globe. The first thing we saw was the "angel wings", that's what the locals call the tailings from the mine. They sort of resemble the wings of an angel. The first part of the trip is all paved (globe-young hwy) so we took in the view. The jeep path to the top isn't marked all that well and i drove right by the first time. After looking at my GPS i found the jeep path. The first thing i noticed was all the trees. The first 10 mins of the drive up was pretty easy. If you don't want limbs scratching your paint don't bother with this trail. As i made my way up the rocky hill there really was only about 3 places where i had to take pause and figure out my line. After about 30 mins of driving i reached a camp site pull out so we stopped and had lunch. After this point (N33 46.481 W110 56.929) the trail becomes much more steep and difficult. We ate lunch and proceeded to climb up the rest of the way. There were fallen trees and some good size rocks that gave me pause more than once. The trail is only as wide as a single vehicle and some of the path has steep drop off's. I would not recommend doing this in snow or rainy conditions. After about 45 mins we finally reached the top and the views were spectacular. We walked up the the mine and peaked in but didn't really enter it. There was a nice cold breeze blowing out of it. After walking about for about 15 mins then started out trip down.. the trip down was MUCH easier for and we did it in about 1hr 15mins. |
