I haven't hiked out of Barnhardt in quite some time.
We started up the rocky, relentless Y Bar trail to some nice temps. Felt good to finally get to the saddle where things level out then onward to meet the Divide trail. We chatted with a couple AZT thru hikers on our way around Mazzy Peak.
By the time we headed down Barnhardt things were warming up. The first two miles are a bit bland until you start dropping into the canyon where the geology and water liven things up.
Light flow at Big Kahuna, but still a nice stop. The remainder of the hike went by pretty fast. Great scenery and the sound of running water in the creek were enjoyable. Good variety of wildflowers throughout the day.
We saw two collared lizards on the drive out. Lunch in FH. Thanks Kelly.
