| partners | | This third scheduled day outing for 3/23 was a short hike attempt to try and validate Oregon Hiker and my recommendation for our previously posted "alternate" Parking/TH Start location for this "Blackjack Wash to Salt River - SRC Wilderness" hike (For this alternate hiking route please review posted 3/23/13 GPS Route/information notes.. http://hikearizona.com/map.php?GPS=20675 and my picset with explanatory captions/tag notes).
Due to mid-afternoon time constraints, we were not able to validate the complete hiking route section to intersect with Blackjack Wash, but we still feel confident that this is a viable 3.6 mile one way off-trail alternate route to reach the scenic "Four Bars" viewpoint area at the Salt River via Blackjack Wash. We still recommend this as an alternative route to our now posted "official" .7 mile one way route from the lower end of stock 4WD only FR346 at the Clay Spring area.
A couple of advantages of this to be considered "alternate" hiking GPS Route:
.. Parking/TH Start is reachable on FR346 (with dry access roads) by High Clearance Vehicles
.. One can hike an out and back (3.6mls one way x2)= 7.2mls R/T or..
.. *One can hike a loop (3.6mls + .7 miles + 1.9 miles on FR346)= 6.2mls R/T
* = recommended less demanding/faster hiking option |
