| partners | | We passed by the full lots for people hiking to Horton Spring and continued to the Hatchery TH. It was already warm (by rim standards) at our late 9am start. We hopped on the Highline going eastbound passing over the clear running water of Tonto Creek. This trail rollercoasters eastward with great rim and Mazzy views. As always, Dick Williams Creek was also flowing and good water can be had here.
At Horton Spring we took a short break before and after bandaging up commander Joe from his fight with a barbed wire fence, we made the almost 1300' climb to the top of the rim. This time on the trail was the easiest time we have ever had following it. It is getting a lot more traffic. On all previous trips on this trail I'd never seen a soul. This time we passed 5 groups.
Up top, Joe stayed to literally lick his wounds and then let them dry. I went and played a ways in the Turkey Beaver area, before meeting back up with Joe at the upper Babe Haught TH .
After some lunch we made the descent down Babe.
Good times |
