| no partners | | If it's Tuesday, we're destined to be on a trail somewhere in AZ. So where do we want to go this week? I have never been in the NE corner of the Supes so decided to give the Two Bar Ridge Trail/(part of the AZT) a look, and bag a few more miles on the AZT. Got to the TH about 8:30 am and it was already warming up. FR 83 was OK, but I would advise high clearance and good tough tires for the last, steep part up to the TH. 4W is not absolutely necessary, but nice. There was a 2W drive pickup, with new, but not off-road tires, at the TH, so it can be done. My stock Xterror with BFG "All Terrain" tires took it all in stride.
This trail is exposed to the sun for much of it's distance, save for a very nice stretch about 2/3rds of the way to the Tule Trail intersection, which has some nice size trees. Once you hit the ridge (about 3 miles in), you're back to full exposure. We hiked about half a mile beyond the Tule Trail intersection and then returned the way we came, making an 8 mile RT. One of our hiking group doesn't like temps above the mid-70s when there is lots of sun involved and we were pushing above that.
There were very, very few flowers in bloom, but the vistas were spectacular and worth the effort to get into this trail and to hike it.
Another good day on the trail. |
