Route Recorded on Route Scout | Pop | Map | Popup | MapDEX

Got started around 0830. Parking lot wasn’t that full for a Friday morning. After a quick stop at the ruins, we headed up the Ruins Trail. Steep, but the breeze helped. Side trip to 2197, then up to National.

West on National, taking our time to look at some of the mines along the trail. Heading downhill was nice, but it was already getting warm. Down Bursera, with a short side trip on Gila to look at one of the saguaros. Then up Bursera—warm, with almost no breeze. Down Bursera Canyon then east on the still unnamed “Lower Bursera” trail to connect back to the trailhead. Good hike and good conversation!

Wildflowers Observation Light
Some flowers here and there. Seemed to be best along the western end of Bursera.
