| partners | | It has been a bad January for me as far as hiking goes, only 29 miles this month. Between The Navajo Rug weaving and work around the house I haven’t got much hiking in, I finished the rug and the roof work is done so maybe February will be a better month for hiking. Ginny and I did the western portion of the Arizona trail in the Canelo Hills from Harshaw Road to near Gate Spring. Good weather for this hike, Monday Through Wednesday it is supposed to rain.
This is a scenic hike through Oak, Mesquite grassland with riparian areas along Redrock Canyon. I always considered the Conelo hills trail to be rather easy walking and not much elevation gain but this section of trail does have a lot of AEG as you pass by Kunde Peak. I noticed that a section of the Arizona Trail was rerouted to move the trail out of the Redrock creek just prior to Gate Spring. We returned along the old trail which is pretty much gone now. January isn’t the best time to hike this area because all the growth is dormant, the upside is the weather is cooler this time of year. I noticed a sign indicating the Arizona Scenic trail that branches off from the Arizona Trail after following it from the east. It leaves the AT, heads in a northerly direction toward Patagonia. Looks like another trail I will have to check out.
Light flow in sections along Redrock Canyon, usually where the bedrock surfaces along the creek. |
