| no partners | | | In 2011 a fire damaged much of the forest in the Chiracahua Mountains. This must have been a good hike before, but as of March 2017 the trail is very poor, with fallen dead trees that unerringly fall over the trail, lengthwise along it if they can. New growth includes trail-encroaching desert hackberry bush that will scrape away the epidermis of bare legs. The lower part is fine, maybe a little steep, and the upper part is lovely. Calling the middle part a trail, at best, demeans the term and, at worst, deceives the hiker cruelly. Much of it is indiscernible. The terminus is not at the peak, as one would expect. Instead, one finds road barricades across the trail. My guess is that the Forest Service won't improve the trail until (1) it gets a budget and (2) the dead trees have all fallen. |
