| no partners | | | Up before the sunrise to make the long trek up to the White Mountain Apache res and over the Cibecue Creek Trailhead to hike up to the Falls. This hike has been on my list for awhile now and finally got the opportunity to do it. You can't buy the permits online right now so we had to drive about 20 minutes past the turnoff to get them. It wasn't too bad just a bit out of the way. Got to the TH a little after 9, with about 5 other cars already there and off we went. Cibecue Creek while flowing pretty good looked like chocolate milk. The rains from the past couple of days, must have really stirred up the mud because you could not see a thing in it, which made it interesting for the dozen or so creek crossings. Made it to the falls at a decent time and spent some time there relaxing and enjoying the scenery. The hike back out was uneventful but hot and humid from all the trees and water. Once I got back to the truck a tribal LEO asked me for my permit which was to be expected as there are people out there that try to hike it without buying one. Stopped for a late lunch at Guayo's on the way home, which is always good! The whole Cibecue area is beautiful and the chocolate milk water made it interesting, would definitely like to see it when the water is clear. |
