| no partners | | First trip out of town in quite some time. Miller has been on the list for quite some time. Actually drove in from the west instead of coming in through Sierra Vista. The dirt/gravel road was in good shape. About 14 miles or so of that.
The trail for this is in great shape and the way it was built gradually takes you up and up and up. The first two miles puts you on top of a ridge and makes up the first 1k feet of gain. That two mile stretch is punctuated with caves that have been barred off and unfortunately a bit of trash. Not terrible but more than you would expect to see say in the Superstitions. It was interesting to be at that elevation and not see any trees for quite some time. There are spots with trees but they are few and far between.
The visibility wasn't fantastic on the peak, but it was still nice. The rest of the Huachuca range to your north, and Mexico to the south. The don wall is visible if you squint.
We ended up turning around on the descent in order to boost the elevation gain a bit.
I would like to come back to this range and start from the north, maybe pick up Carr and a few other points. Solid day out on the mountains. |
