This is simply probably my favorite hike that I have done in Arizona. It's close with the Kachina Trail but this trail is a bit more difficult and more sustained climbing.
My trip got off to an inauspicious start as I realized I had forgotten my hat. I haven't hiked without a hat or something on my head in a VERY long time. I was bummed but it turned out OK.
FR 151 and FR 418 are actually pretty good roads. My SUV made it just fine and even I didn't worry... 
When I got to the Trailhead it was 37 degrees. When I arrived home it was 97 degrees. Yikes.
Back to the hike... I chose to go up Bear Jaw first and then to descend Abineau. Although I say that I wouldn't have wanted to ascend Abineau, next time I might do it just for the challenge as it is MUCH steeper.
I marveled at the views along the higher parts of the trail and the aspens are not at peak but probably middle peak, maybe. I saw one hunter and there was one other vehicle at the TH which I believe may have been a fellow HAZ'er Preston Mc.
I got back to the TH, took my pants off, switched to shorts and readied for my next adventure about 2 miles down the road... |
