| partners | | Years earlier, Eric (HAZ- ssk44) had previously suggested that Oregon_Hiker and I strongly consider an off-trail hike to reach his Google Earth located and highly recommended Salome Wilderness ViewPt KNOB 5344ft. This Summit/Knob was located at a most amAZing view location above the confluence area of rugged and scenic Workman Canyon Creek and Salome Canyon Creek.
The years in waiting an agreed-to time for Oregon_Hiker and myself to finally plan a new Salome Wilderness vehicle camping and off-trail hike exploring multiday trip all came to life for us based on confirming in early Spring'21 from this one awesome scene taken on the summit of Greenback Peak [ photo ]
The planning wheels soon started turning when Oregon_Hiker and I were able to take-in all the scenic beauty and possible new (for us) hike explore options that existed in this vast wilderness area that we had yet to visit.
This 10/14/22 was our second planned off-trail day hike on an eight-day Camp Grasshopper stay. The TH Start is from the recommended campsite location. This wilderness area is a rugged, rocky area to hike into with lots of various vegetation to negotiate through but fortunately with a large hike segment on an active Cattle Path to follow out-n-back. This completely off-trail hike requires excellent hiker route-finding and navigation skills. To reach the destination of ViewPt KNOB 5344ft, one must start early and with time to explore and take in the scenic beauty of this destination, you will be returning late. If driving in from the PHX area, which includes a serious five mile 4WD one way in on FR2752 to reach Camp Grasshopper (see Camp G/H Hike Guide), I would suggest a planned minimum of a two nights stay at Camp Grasshopper and a recommended three nights stay.
Unfortunately on this 10/14 hike, Oregon_Hiker and I only made it to a scenic location of ViewPt KNOB 5344ft, which was prior-to reaching the actual summit. I would estimate we had an additional .3 mile one way vegetation bushwhack first a steep down and then a bushwhack back up to reach the Knob summit area at 5344ft [ photo ]
Another unfortunate on this 10/14 hike is that somewhere between ~1 mile in and ~1.4 miles in, I personally lost my one year old 5G Samsung Smartphone which had seven (7) years of my family, friends, camping-hiking pics, and etc.. on a MicroSD Card in this Smartphone with no backup 
Anyone (2-4 hikers minimum recommended) who are qualified with a desire for a challenge, and has the necessary, capable 4WD vehicle to safely do this drive/hike and might also have the time to search for my 10/14/22 "lost" Smartphone, I would be most appreciative for the effort. I also commit to paying for your (the "1" driver's) total $gas$ cost for this out and back drive for this "1" driver who brings back my lost Smartphone for me.
If interested, all the necessary hike and search details are now available via my HAZ posted:
.. [ Camp Grasshopper - Salome Wild Boundary Area ]
.. Photoset with detail captions, tag notes, and geocoded--> [ photoset ]
.. Out-n-Back recommended hike Gps Route (to our 10/14 ending Viewpt Loc) with all "key" Waypoints included--> [ custom map :: map ]
Additional Information Notes for this Gps Route:
Note: This is the final edited 10-14-22 out/back hiking route with all key WPs included to hike to ViewPt for Salome Wild Knob 5344ft and if interested, to search for Grasshopper's LOST 10/14/22 Smartphone somewhere "between" posted WPs Pic Locations of 9:45am and 10:21am.
Note: Hike Start IN/Back Out would require downloading this 10/14 Track with All Key WPs to Closely Follow "and" to Start this Hike IN at WP labeled: "StartCattle RTE IN-PineTreeTAPED".
Also Note: When approaching Hike IN area of posted WP for Grasshopper 9:45am Picture "Start Search", one needs to connect over to this 9:45am WP Location and slowly search hike (at ~80ft Gps Interval Recommended), hiking IN on this original 10/14 Gps Track IN and can "End Search" hike at the approx posted WP for the 10:21am Picture Location;
Good luck!! It's a most awesome area to be. Oregon_Hiker and I did not see another human for our total eight (8) day stay  |
