| partners | | This was our (my visiting TX Granddaughter and my) second full day (day 3) of a planned 4nt/5day camping-hiking trip to our Mogollon Rim- The Cabin Loop hiking area.
This partial off-trail and on-trail ~6.5 mile loop hike which begins at the back entrance Park/TH Start to Perennial Dane Spring on FR321A, is one of my very favorite Cabin Loop area hike sections. The off-trail Dane Canyon Drainage section of this hike at ~2.3mls in distance is exceptionally nice with relatively easy navigation hiking up the canyon with beautiful canyon views, water, and a whole lot of solitude. Also, there are various options for nice backpack campsites with lots of privacy hiking up the canyon drainage. On my posted Gps Route with all "key" waypoints noted, I did include one backpack campsite location (see WP) that caught my attention for a good overnight choice.
It should also be noted that even though the off-trail navigation within this section of Dane Canyon is not difficult, the off-trail drainage entrance route from the U-Bar Tr #28 and especially the off-trail drainage exit route out of the canyon UP to intersect closed to vehicle traffic FR9616B requires some decent navigation skills and ideally downloading my posted Gps Route and following it closely at an ~80ft to 120ft interval level. It goes UP and there is downfall to navigate over, under, and around before reaching the more open top.
Kudos also to my amAZing Granddaughter on a very successful (no falls and no blood loss), always smiling, and first time ever more involved off-trail loop hike like this one..  still!! |
