| no partners | | After finishing up on Fort Huachuca, I hit McDonalds for some quick food, then decided to finally go check out the "new" (only been there about 5 years ) Coronado NF Sierra Vista office. Typical of newer ones I have seen. From there it was over to Brown (Barchas) Canyon Ranch. I had not been there before. The only time I did the Brown Canyon-Ramsey loop hike was many years ago, and we parked along Ramsey Canyon Road and hiked in a different way. So, this was only the second time I had been in Brown Canyon. Since it was late in the day, I just planned on seeing the ranch and hiking a little way up the trail, which is what I did. I was surprised at the number of people I saw both in Garden Canyon on the base and here for a Wednesday. Obviously the lower portion of the trail is popular with mountain bikers, as I encountered several in my short time there.
I will have to come back next spring and do some more hiking in there, including finally going to the Pomona Mine, which has been on my to do list forever. I think I will stage that from Ramsey Canyon Preserve rather than Brown Ranch. Following my exploration in Brown Canyon Ranch area, I headed to Sierra Vista for dinner at La Casita. The food is good, but overpriced. The margarita was a joke, so I followed that with a Negra Modelo to make things right. Then back home to watch Survivor. It was a very nice day down in the Huachucas.  |
