Satisfying little afternoon walk in the solitude and beauty of the Northern Hellsgate Wilderness.
Walked a little bit on Mescal Ridge and still want to properly explore it specifically but instead I looped around, dropped into some drainages and just got a good overall feel for the area.
Finished just before sunset and took a moment enjoying the sound and scenery of the mighty Tonto as it flows past Bear Flat down into the “cataclysmic landscape of jagged ridges, and V-shaped tributaries” as said and best described by the Hellsgate legend himself Mr. Nick Berezenko.

Dry tank but nice clear pools in the canyon.
