one of the best things about haz is the ideas you get from other people, this one courtesy of @hikerdw
john and i have been looking for new hikes and had not done anything in the area
got to city creek trailhead and started hiking up the divide trail a little before 0700
cool at first, but a steady grade uphill made layers unnecessary
the trail is in great condition = mostly good footing and very little catclaw
the middle miles went through an exposed burn area
without route scout and just recording on my gps, we were not sure which high point was knob mountain
figured it out, though, and had a snack at the top
john was able to confirm with his phone
not much of a mountain, but i'm counting the peak since i only have three new ones for the year :lol:
heading down as the wind came up, our view much of the time was the tinder fire blowing up :o
not good
as david mentioned, the road is in good condition with just one short rutted area
john bought lunch at a thai restaurant in payson afterwards - good food, thank you :)
not the most scenic hike, but a new trail in a new area with good company - nice
aeg seems a little high
