| partners | | Cancelled my canyoneering plans due to the monsoon storms and decided to head up north instead. Wild Bill Hill was one of the three locations my friend and I explored within a action packed 24 hour time span.
My intention of going to Ol Wild Bill was of course to check out the unique hoodoo filled eroded section so I didn't even bother going to the official TH and went straight for the good stuff!
A nice gradual climb with incredible views of Kendrick and Humphreys made this such a pleasant stroll up the hillside.
Upon getting the first glimpse of the hoodoo canyon area I absolutely fell in love with the contrast in colors of the rich reddish volcanic rock compared to the green ponderosa pines! We relaxed and soaked in the views up top via a nice game use trail and then made our way down the hardened eroded main drainage while the hoodoos towered above us. As the afternoon storm rolled in and it began to rain it made me wonder just how cool it would be to see that volcanic drainage gushing with rain water considering there would be a couples of nice cascade opportunities within the path of its flow, I always find myself about thinking waterfalls even when I'm nowhere near one  .
We enjoyed a refreshing shower of mountain rain the remainder of our hike along with the satisfying feeling of visiting yet another unique Arizona gem. |
