. I chose to go in from Sterling Pass. I used part of an ol gps route from a "HAZ Hall of Famer" gpsjoe! I was a bit leary of where I could park so I parked across the street and .2 miles south. I now believe it is ok to park next the trailhead south. Room for half a dozen or so Hazmobiles. I hit the trail early and the temps were great! The trail was in fine shape IMO. Very green with some big bushes with tiny white flowers. The locust had blooms also. Throw in some grasses,Maples, Oak, and ferns too 
. A nice variety of birds, views, and the red rock and it was quite enjoyable. You even get to climb a couple thousand feet 
. I only had to go over two and under two, trees all morning. A wise HAZer said this would be good in the Fall and I agree. The Fall colors would be nice to see as were the unexpected flowers and all the green. I checked out the plaque for the Vultee couple that crashed their plane here. How sad. Next I went on, across, over, and under the arch. I didn't see anyone until I was back over Sterling Pass. One nice Lady about 8am then another and finally two men by the trailhead and that was it. I enjoyed this one and would say Spring and Fall are a go.
