I read that the Geronimo trail was not very exciting so I figured we would just drive to the East webber trail head. I must have missed the part about the private boy scout camp in between. We parked and headed up the hill by the sign. There seemed to be a three way split and we knew that to the right was the wrong way. We started up the hill where I saw my first wild tarantula. I think it was a male Arizona Blond. We skirted the creek and camp the way up. There did seem to be a pretty good trail most of the way on this side for most of the way. About 2.5 miles in we hooked up with the webber creek trail. There were raspberries everywhere. We passed the camp and started up the canyon pretty steadily but not so much it slowed us down. This is where we spotted our second set of Elk. They bolted before I could get my camera ready. We continued along the trail for a good while and came to a split with signs on the ground. One said webber creek and the other Rim View. I think we would have had better luck on the rim view trail. East webber creek continued bobbing back and forth until it came to a bolder hopping section. From here there was no apparent trail and everything poked. We made it a few hundred feet and the decision to wear shorts determined this was the end of the line. Grapes and Raspberries as far as we could see but no trail. We turned around and this is where we made our mistake. Somehow we ended up coming through the fence into the camp n the way back. A nice man reminded us that we were trespassing but let us use the road which saved us plenty of time. I would like to make it back out here and try to make it up to the rim again. There were at least three trucks of people before we left gathering raspberries by the parking lot. |
