| partners | | Lee convinced me to check this one out, and the first couple of miles were exactly the reason I hadn't previously done this. It should be called "State Route 87 - Alt" 
The sound of traffic and smell of exhaust really isn't my idea of a nice hike, and it takes a long time to get far enough away that you don't notice it anymore. Oh well.
The climb was steady, and the sun was out making it just a little warmer than I prefer. I think this trail has an ideal season of December-January. 
The higher elevations are exponentially more scenic than the first 2 miles so that was a pleasant change. There was water flowing in all the drainages. The trail to the cabin had been driven by dirt bikes (motor) and torn it up a fair amount. Not bad, but I was glad they weren't there today. The crossover section to the corral might as well be a real trail -- it is traveled very well and there was absolutely no problem following the route.
On the way back down, clouds finally blocked the sun making it a pleasant, cool afternoon. Until we got down far enough that the beeline was within earshot again. ](https://hikearizona.com/dex2/images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall")
Ran into a couple of HAZ lurkers in the parking lot. They'd seen Lee and the dogs in the Supes before, and apparently some guy named Chumley is their go-to for hike research info.  |
