| partners | | Our last hike of day 2 was at Montezuma Pass on the Joes Canyon Trail and Yaqui Trail to the Arizona Trail start point on the border. This is a 4 mile in and back hike with about 800 feet of elevation gain. Things have changed quite a bit along the border since I was last here in 2013. The monument marking the border is still there and the barbed wire fence is repaired and a section of the 30 foot wall is in place.
This is a pleasant hike to do when you just have a little time, great views to the south into Mexico along the upper reaches of the San Pedro River. The weather was in the 80’s by noon but with a thin cloud layer and a strong breeze along the high points of the trail it was pleasant hiking. No one was on the trail and only one other car at the trail head. We will take the scenic route back to Tucson along the west side of the Huachuca Mountains. Dirt road for about 17 miles but in good condition. Stopped by Parker Lake just to se it, very few people there also. |
