I had planned on doing a short hike to an area of interest off of Horseshoe Dam Road but had to change plans when I discovered that road is closed probably due to a section near the dam being flooded by the Verde River. So I settled for a short loop hike off of the north side of Bartlett Dam Road near Blue Mountain and the Camp Creek crossing. This area has many dry washes with low ridges between the washes. I kept to the top of the ridges looking for evidence of ancient habitation but didn't see much. There were many large patches of Mexican Gold Poppies on the hillsides. It was a pleasant hike with good scenery.
