Wanted to check out trail at the Pima Dynamite Trail, so hobbled together some trails to make a 10.6 mile loop. Trails (in order) are:
01. Hawknest Trail (0.4+0.8+0.8+0.2+0.2+0.5+0.5+0.1+1.5) = 5.0 miles
02. Basalt Ridge Overlook (0.1+0.1) = 0.2 miles
03. Basalt Ridge Trail (0.3) = 0.3 miles
04. Upper Ranch Trail (0.6+0.5+0.1) = 1.2 miles
05. Rustler Trail (0.7) = 0.7 miles
06. Latigo Trail (0.1+0.6+0.4+0.4+0.7+0.5) = 2.7 miles

The land is pretty flat in this area, but the clouds made for some good photos. Also of note, the Hawknest Trail GPS associated with the guide doesn't seem to come all the way down to this trailhead, but the official map and actual tracks show it does, so I think this may be an additional amount of trail added to the Hawknest trail.

I'll upload the loop track.
