Just a quick trip up the trail and back to get out of the house. Clear day and a fair amount of water that we have not seen before on prior trips that crossed the trail about half mile in and then again at about 2 miles in. The creek was flowing in the Casa Blanca drainage and the weather was great. In all this is a great trail to take new hikers and elementary age kids on but my teens still enjoyed it. The road in was dotted with more camping than I have ever seen in the past and the creek in Gardner was running strong. The last 2 miles may be tough, because the road crosses Gardner creek a few times, on a low clearance vehicle but not an issue for a Subaru or more capable. The tunnel that has signage had water in it as usual and we passed a father and son section hiking the AZT. nice trip not to far from Tucson.
