| no partners | | I've had this one drawn up for awhile.
Starting at the Black Mountain TH, first up is Black Mountain. It was a nice cool climb to the top, with only a handful of people passed.
Next up was the clandestine neighborhood walk past Casa de LosDos to get over to the beginning of the Slate Trail.
A side trip up Louis Menk Nature Trail and then an off-trail jaunt to the old Cave Creek Cemetery before getting back on the Slate Trail. Cave Creek had a light flow as I crossed it.
The Slate Trail to get over to the CCRP parking area is nothing to write home about. The closer I got to the parking area, the worse the horse stench got. It reminded me of the mule corridor in the Grand Canyon
The Overton Trail gets better the farther you get away from the TH, all the way to where it intersects the Go John Trail.
On the Go John Trail I spotted a couple of deer grazing on the hillside. Views to the east included snow capped Humbolt, Four Peaks, and many Mazy high points.
Flat Rock was the last of the new trail tread on the day. It also offered some nice views.
Back in LosDos territory, I opted for more of a stealth route through his neighborhood.
Success! |
