| partners | | Kelly and I decided this AZT segment could be done as a long day hike. We got a shuttle ride from the end of the segment on Gardner Canyon Road to the beginning in Patagonia where we started our hike.
Kelly mentioned a road walk to begin the hike, but I had no idea it would last for 3 hours! The scenery was interesting enough that it passed by relatively quick.
Lots of sycamore and cottonwoods once we reached Temporal Gulch. No water right now as expected with the continued dry spell.
Once we entered the Mount Wrightson Wilderness, the landscape is heavily wooded with oaks and evergreens. Very pleasant hiking. We saw a bird that looked like a grouse run off the trail into the brush. Descending next to Bear spring that has clear water. Filtered water there and had snacks.
The final few miles are back down into grasslands and oaks on good tread.
Good to finish another AZT segment. Fun hike. Thanks Kelly!  |
