Hadn't done this trail in a couple years. First of all, the straight-on hill climb at the begining has been re-routed to a series of very nice switchbacks. Much easier than before. Second, just past the summit of the old hill climb, to the left of the trail, used to be a nice mine shaft. Now the switchbacks skirt you way around this. Unless you hiked this trail before the re-route, you would never know the mine is near you. Third, I was half-expecting to find the growing urban sprawl of North Phoenix and Cave Creek begin to creep in. To my delight, the mountains surrounding the trail still screen out the housing boon for the majority of the hike - in other words, the trail still gives a great sense of 'out in the middle of nowhere'. Lastly, I tracked the trail on a Garmin Etrex GPS. The exact reading came to 5.93 miles.
