| no partners | | I took the Derrick Trail from Tonto Fish Hatchery Road to the Highline Trail, and then took that a little ways to the Promontory Trail. I then spent a little bit of time on top of Promontory Butte enjoying the great views. It was an awesome adventure but also very grueling. Derrick Trail had a little bit of mud but not too bad. Highline was in good shape. The Promontory Trail was mostly marked good but also had a lot of leaf litter on it.
The Promontory Trail has an especially large elevation gain - ~1,100 feet over .75 miles. A grind but the views make it worthwhile.
The official trail gps from this site for the Derrick and Promontory Trails were very helpful. The Highline is pretty self explanatory. |

Autumn Foliage Observation Isolated
A lot of fall leaf litter on the Promontory Trail. Still a little bit of fall colors - there was one really good spot on the Highline Trail not too far from the Promontory Trail. |
