Great quiet hike, did not run into anyone on a Thursday night. Beautiful shaded and forested hike up to the first creek crossing. At this time of the year it was very simple to cross with the stepping stones. Steady flow and what a beautiful sight with all the green the water brings. Soon after I ran into a Salome Wilderness/Tonto Forrest sign after passing through more forest. From there I noticed the a slight climb and the terrain shifted more toward a desert landscape with the towering forested trees disappearing. Here I found much more smaller shrubs and greater sun exposure. I did run into the wooden sign marking Hells Hole 284 and the Boyer Trail letting me know I was on the right path. After this portion of the trail I began the descent through the switchbacks dropping deeper and deeper. I scrapped my legs from all the overgrowth here, but nothing that required any first aid. Once at the bottom I counted 3 camp sites all creek side. There are some make shift stone fire pits and the ground allowed for tent stakes. I didn't see any fish in the creek and I didn't find the waterfall. Calm and quiet night, I did not run into a lot of wildlife. After the peaceful recharge I made my way up and out easily. The hike back up the switch backs is a beast, but conquerable with time. I remember destroying a lot of spider webs in the morning leaving the creek. The trail is easily followed and would recommend this as a 1st/beginner back packer trip, like myself.

Good flow for a small creek before crossing into Salome Wilderness. Easy to cross over with stones at this time of year. Then again good flow at end of trail by the camp sites, reliable source of water. *Thanks ALMAL
