| no partners | | We spent some time around the Pueblo Park area during our four day trip to the Blue Range this past weekend. The area is a little warm this time of year for our dogs, but we were still able to knock out some short hikes and an early morning off trail excursion to a set of ruins I had been wondering about since my first visit to this area in 2015. The ruins ended up being pretty amazing and we were able to get up to them and back with the dogs before the heat set in. Although, getting to them required trusting a semi suspect hanging ladder that added a little more spice to the ruin hunt than anticipated. After checking out the ruins, we headed back up for higher country and hiked a mile in on Hinkle Park Trail #36. The trail is not on HAZ, but it was on my Blue Range map. The first mile was promising. I would like to get back to hike more of this trail. We also made an attempt at reaching the Saddle Mountain Lookout, but the gate was closed about a mile, or so from the summit and I was tired of walking.
I am starting to really like this area, it offers some great opportunities for some off the beaten path exploration. In fact, I have a lot of things I want to do in this area after this weekend and I would not be surprised if I end up out here again before the end of the summer. |
