| partners | | I haven't hiked any of the LOST trails yet, so this seemed like a good opportunity to do that. Andy hiked part of this before so he was interested.
We started from the Picketpost TH and hiked east into the canyon. The temperature was very cool and breezy with the shade and riparian environment. There are a lot of very nice views of Picketpost and the rock formations inside the canyon along the creek. After a mile or two, the vegetation and cottonwoods was pretty dominant.
We got to the junction with Telegraph Canyon and decided to walk down that. We got sidetracked on some fainter trails that head up over to Perlite Road, but then got back down into Telegraph Canyon. I had planned to hike in maybe 5 miles or so and then turn around. Once we got to the end of Telegraph Canyon to the road, it made more sense to just complete the loop around Picketpost since we had already hiked about halfway. The connecting trail from the road over to the AZT is very well marked and easy to follow.
Once we got to the TH again, we had only hiked about 9 miles, so we took the bypass route mini loop into Arnett Canyon again and added another mile and a bit more. It was a little warm when we finished, but not really hot. Still breezy here and there the whole time. Looking forward to hiking more of the LOST trails in this area over to Superior. |
