We hiked a loop after driving up Packsaddle Road as far as we thought safe with the truck, then began our hike walking the Willow Springs Wash. We cut over to the west to find Pedestal Arch first, then to camouflaged tanks and Triple Arch before leaving via Black Glass Canyon. Turned out to be a difficult way out after a good hike in. We did find some new horse trails that made the initial portion of the hike more pleasant. My grandsons from California loved the hike and climbing those great yellow boulders. The Gila Monster was an added surprise. All the wash walking and no rattlesnakes were seen.

Wildflowers Observation None
We saw some Mexican poppies, crown mallow and goldfields. The brittle bush seemed to have run there course and few had any flowers.
