| partners | | Needed another non obstructive hike so I picked Mazzie Loop and added Bear Spring to put a little meat on the bone.
Up Y Bar and down Barnhardt. I think whichever you go down you will like least. That said, down Barnhardt is the wise choice.
An unburnt pocket or two and the stand of pines is heaven to me on Y Bar. A break in the pines was the magic of the day. A solid 3 out of 5 hazopelli. Bee hive along trail is marked on my route.
Windsor / Y Bar saddle over to Bear Springs has great views. Torched for the most part but the AZT has it in near pristine condition.
The spur to Bear Spring was possibly the nicest part of the hike. Manicured trail and lush.
Divide over to Barnhardt has nice views and the trail is in good condition. Not on my favorite list. The views up to Mazzie Peak are sweet.
Barnhardt is unique as always. It doesn't seem as smooth descending as ascending. Passed one hiker in the final quarter mile the entire day. Nice temps. |
