| no partners | | I, my wife, and two friends hiked the Black Ridge Loop on Sunday. I've hike portions of the loop a number of times and the entire loop just once before. Having done it before, I found route finding a lot easier this time around.
Up to Brunson Tank, I found the route to be easier to follow than in the past. Recent horse traffic seems to have beaten the path in somewhat. Just past Brunson Tank, however, the trail starts out as well defined and then quickly peters out. Also, there are a number of cow paths here that are better defined than the provided GPS track.
Staying (nearly precisely) on the GPS track, however, yields good results, especially when finding the descent which begins about 1/2 mile after Brunson Tank.
When we got to the Arizona Trail (Little Saddle Mountain Trail), we found water flowing in the creek in some places and standing pools of water in other places. |
