| no partners | | I thought I'd try this track to see if there was potentially some early color. Hiking these trails in the past, I knew there are lots of maples and oaks, with a smattering of AZ Walnut.
I was surprised there were 4 cars at the TH when I arrived. 6 when I left. I never saw another person all day except for the TH.
Geronimo Trail #240 is not a favorite of mine. It's an old road that has eroded in many spots. The only plus on this trail is the views to the rim.
At the 2 mile mark, you hit the BSA TR - Milk Ranch Point West Trail. There is no sign at the Geronimo Trail. The trail is tight in spots but easy to follow. There are about a dozen logs over the trail to where it meets the West Webber Trail. All but the last one on way up are easy to go over or under. I asked for color and I got it. Green is a color. Less than 1% has turned.
At the intersection with West Webber I made the decision to head down West Webber instead of continuing to the rim. There was a light rain and thunder crackling overhead and nearby.
West Webber #228 is in much better shape. I really love this trail and would do it much more frequently, if it didn't require the Geronimo from below for access. Lots of old growth makes for a thick canopy.
Back on Geronimo for my return to the TH, footing was slippery from all the rain. One more reason to love Geronimo.
Give this track 2 weeks and the colors should be poppin' |
