First off, $3 per person is a little ridiculous. The lady told me they are 'self funding'. Whatever that means.. So am I, lady! I picked up about 10 pieces of trash along the trail so maybe the Spur Cross people should reevaluate how they are spending all the $$ they are taking from the hikers. Secondly, the 'trail' was just a road the whole way until you get into the Tonto Forest. So basically paid $3 to walk a road to get to the actual trail. :SB:

I digress, after the point into Tonto, the hike was real nice. Lots of water in the creek, little falls here and there. Gabby dog really liked swimming through all the pools. There were a lot of big birds out there. Im not much of a bird guy, but Gabby sure liked chasing them around!! LOTS of bees. The constant hum was a little creepy. It seemed like there was a hive in every other tree!! Didn't see any snakes, though a guy I passed said he saw 2 rattlers. Do to having to go back to Circle K for the $3, I was short on time and didnt even make it to the ruins.

Will have to come back sometime from the Cave Creek side. The pics of the glyphs look very interesting.
