| no partners | | | Headed out to the far eastern Superstitions trying to escape the heat. Turned off on 83 and headed up to the Two Bar Ridge TH. The last half mile of 83 is a white knuckle drive up a steep scree narrow road. It's gotten a lot worse then what it was so much that I used 4L in a couple of sections. Started up the Two Bar Ridge Trail as it's a 500 foot climb right at the start. I woke up tired and feeling a bit blah yesterday and climbing up this first section was tough, I had no legs at all. Made it up to the first ridge, rehydrated under a nice shade tree and continued on. I was originally going to hike back up to the huge set of ruins Scott and I checked out last year, but as I was starting my decent down into Tule Canyon I spotted an interesting looking grassy area near the bottom of Tule Canyon that I decided to check out instead. This area was no where near the trail so it was bushwhack (probably not the smartest thing to do during snake season) through grass and multiple dead and alive brush and trees. Made it over to the semi flat grassy area, although interesting, no signs of any type of ruin as I had hoped. Hiked over to the edge of the cliff and just relaxed enjoying nature a bit before heading back. Bushwhacked back to the scenic Tule Canyon and started the 600 foot climb out of the canyon. It was a warm climb up and without having my legs today it was slow. Took a break in the shade once I reached the ridge and headed back down to the truck. Came across an AZT through hiker on the way out and that was it for the day. This was probably my last Superstition hike until fall, the temps are getting way to warm for any type of hike, but it was still good to get out. |
