| no partners | | The majority of this segment was along sidewalks, and there appears to be quite a bit more. I started from Estrella Park to make sure my track connects to the segments of the MT I've already hiked there. I headed north past the nature center and onto Vineyard Ave. There's a road inside the park that parallels Vineyard. I decided to take this road hoping there would be an easy exit from the park to where the MT crosses the road and heads into the riverbed. There wasn't an easy exit, but someone had spread open the barbed wire a bit to make getting through the fence doable. I still preferred this to walking the south berm of Vineyard with traffic buzzing by.
The segment of the trail in the riverbed is briefly singletrack, then follows a service road. Crossing the bridge of the Estrella Parkway gave some nicer views. Pretty high up with only a short cyclone fence for fall prevention.
After that it was berm and sidewalks along the Estrella Parkway and Bullard Ave. Got some up close views of the spring training facilities and the boneyard at Goodyear Airport. Looks like a lot of the planes were just parked for the time being. The trail keeps heading north while Bullard heads northeast, cutting across a field and adjacent to some crops. I stopped at Yuma Road and headed back, from there it looks to be sidewalks all the way to I-10. |
