| partners | | Planning for this "5nt/6day" (Thurs-3/13 to Tues-3/18) vehicle camping/off trail hike exploring and first time Spring'14 visit to this centrally located Cherry Creek Road (FR203) North location bordering our Sierra Ancha Wilderness (at 4188 feet elevation with week lows from 32-42F and shaded highs a pleasant 70-76F) first began back in October, 2013.
Because of the driving time (4 hours) and the number of miles (128) it takes me from South Scottsdale to reach this northern section of Cherry Creek Road for day hike explorations, it only makes sense for me to do a multi-day vehicle camping trip with local day hikes planned. Most all of which are going to be off-trail in this remote, historic, and most interesting section of our Sierra Ancha Wilderness.
My new HAZ "overview" hike description for this nice campsite location with linked picset describes and shows some of the surrounding camp area. One additional advantage of this campsite location that I neglected to mention is that it resides only a short .50 mile road hike down to perennial Cherry Creek which offers a nice area to obtain needed water for filtering or treating as well as offering an opportunity for a very pleasant and sometimes shaded foliage hike of most any length both up or down Cherry Creek.
For this six day vehicle camping trip, we had planned four (4) significant day hike explorations to  new areas we had yet to explore. I will plan to post a triplog and picset for all four and an edited for correctness GPS Route (with key way points included) for three of the four:
For Fri-3/14: Black Brush Uranium Mines - Sierra Ancha
For Sat-3/15: Grapevine Trail Indian Ruins - Sierra Ancha
For Sun-3/16: Exploring Upper Cherry Creek - Sierra Ancha
For Mon-3/17: Exploring Above Black Brush Uranium Mines |
