We chose this hike from HAZ as we were camped in the area and were going to hike the east end of Aravaipa Canyon the next day. We also thought this hike might be a good choice in that it's much higher in elevation and would provide a good contrast to hiking in Aravaipa Canyon. We used friendofThundergod's gps hiking route as well as the driving route he kindly provided for us. While we used his hiking route, we found that other folks had marked their own route with blue and pink/orange ribbons. It seemed in numerous places that the "ribboned" route was far less overgrown. While this hike offered some good exercise, I can't say that we'd eagerly recommend this hike. The views were just okay and the end-point, Reef Tank, was not picturesque. We did marvel, though, at how the ranchers managed to make such a large watering hole out in the middle of nowhere. We suggest only 4x4 vehicles and offroad tires for the drive due to the sharp rocks along the way. Probably the most fun part of the trip was watching the "wildlife" (cattle) try to figure out what to do when a vehicle is moving along the one-lane road in which they are in the middle.
