| no partners | | I have great news about forest road 401A. It is in stellar shape. It has been recently graded and any stock 4x4 can run it no problem. It's the best I have seen it in 20 years. Now the bad news upon arrival to 401A the gate was closed with a road closed sign and held shut with just a one twist of the wire. No where on the Tonto’s website does it say the road is closed and there was no order posted to the gate so it made no sense this road would be closed. Every road I’ve ever come across has had the order posted and was padlocked so no clue what was going on here. But on with the hike!
We followed the road to where it dead ended at Circle Bar Ranch which is a working ranch. Cane spring was running nicely with a pipe flowing with clear water into some storage basins. We did not hike the trail, but instead traveled up Cane Spring Canyon which was flowing nicely. The goal was to make it to Browns Cabin Spring, but spent too much time exploring the Circle Bar area and only made it up the canyon a half mile or so.
One question I have is if there is an actual cabin or remnants of a cabin at Browns Cabin Spring. I'd like more info about the Brown's as they seem to have a number of landmarks named after them.
Beautiful area. Check out the pics! |
