Once past the Maricopa County Park line this one requires a keen eye and good route finding skills. Either that or a trusty GPS.

The trail fades in and out with the grass being overgrown in most areas. It is also critical to watch out for those pesky Prickly Pear Cactus as they are hiding in the brush just waiting to put the hurts on you.

I was lucky this trip and avoided any mishaps. Views from Black Mesa are fantastic and after taking them in I headed over to take a quick look at New River Mesa.

Fun trip and perfect weather.
