Eagletail Mountains Wander
Partners none no partners
After a day exploring the northern end of the Eagletails, I decided to hit the tourist circuit. It's an easy hike out to the historic Indian Spring area and the rock art does not disappoint. Looks like the spring box at Indian Spring has dried up permanently, but I was happy to find water in a narrow slot of bedrock in the side drainage just below the springbox. I'm sure it dries up in summer, but I think it also holds water for a surprisingly long time. It is 100% shaded.

Detoured to 726 on the way back, another AZGFD engineered wildlife watering tank. Busy day in the wilderness -- saw two other people. No sheep today. :( Great area.

Spring box was totally dry and appears that it is permanently out of commission. But 100 feet up the side drainage just below the springbox was a cold deep pool of water in bedrock that appears that it would hold water much of the year.
