| no partners | | I never finished this AZT section so headed out before it gets too hot. I started at the bridge trailhead and went south. First day camped at "cottonwood spring". Its running fairly strongly and parts of cottonwood creek had water to lounge in and cool off. Camp was very close to the trail since it's a narrow canyon. Was there a while enjoying watching the wild as the day changed. Next day was a long haul to Walnut Spring , about 10 miles and 3-5k up and down in elevation ! The views along the two bar ridge are amazing at ~ 5k feet. There were fields of flowers, it was like walking in a dream except for the major winds. Made it to Walnut spring , a small metal box around the spring makes it easy to scoop water from. The water was green but cool and filtered clear (first trial of BeFree filter, great much easier than Sawyer). Camped near the spring, had a great view of four peaks.
Day three went south through Reavis gap, Reavis ranch, and about 5 more miles south of the ranch. I lounged in Reavis creek for a few hours then camped. The next three days are the reverse of the above. Overall pretty relaxing with much downtime to soak in the real world ! |
