| partners | | Our 17th annual spring break trip for the 2-3 of us (Max and I haven’t done all 17 but Jim has). Good times.
This year we chose Miles Ranch and must give some HAZ appreciation to Lee for sure on this one: thanks for all the suggestions and useful info.
After 30 years of AZ hiking I finally make it to one of FOTG’s favorites I’m not sure why I hadn’t been here but I think perhaps the massive open pit mines had something to do with it.
Day 1
West Pinto out to Spencer and up to Cement Spring. On the way back we took Cuff Button up to a bit beyond Jerky Spring which was down the side slope.
We got about 3 hours rain in late afternoon but it eased up by 6pm.
Day 2
Paradise to Government Hill ridge and over to Bull Basin. We saw a total of 8 deer (one large buck) on the ridge part of this trip. The descent to Bull Basin we got in some heavy brush that was gnarly On our return to Miles we saw 2 Toyotas with HAZ decals
Day 3
Out and back from Haunted Canyon upper TH. Saw one hiker, the only person we saw all weekend.
Stopped at AZW on the way back  |
