One of our friends was nice enough to help with a shuttle for AZT #11 picking us up at our exit in Summerhaven. We started at the Hirabayashi TH hiking towards Sycamore Reservoir. Quick stop there and continued over into Sabino basin to Hutches Pool. The fun begins after Hutches Pool with most of the uphill from that point on. The climb to Romero Pass is not especially steep but steady. We took a nice break there on the ridgeline taking in the views and enjoyed finishing AZT #11. After that we started the steepest part of the climb up to the turn off for Wilderness of Rocks. Wilderness of Rocks is always great and took some time to look around. Was surprised to see so many pools along the way with the lack of rain. After crossing Lemmon Creek we headed up the hill to Marshall Saddle then down to Marshall Gulch TH arriving by 5pm for some much needed adult beverages and snacks
