| no partners | | This was my second of three short, off-trail hikes from my planned 6nt/7day Mogollon Rim- Camp Grasshopper trip from 6/14 to 6/20/23.
A number of years back, I had researched and confirmed a recommended and doable off-trail hiking route into an upper section of Barbershop Canyon Creek from my [ Camp Grasshopper - Mogollon Rim-C/Site#2 ] . This June'23 visit I planned to reconfirm on 6/19/23, to clean-up and to a/r rock cairn this HAZ posted and known Gps Hiking Route.
Over the past couple of years, I had also been researching on HAZ Route Editor, a hopeful safe and doable second off-trail Elk Route an approximate one mile further down FR139C from this Camp GH #2. On 9/2/22 I first hiked this second off-trail route and posted it all on HAZ.
This 6/18/23, I had hoped to off-trail hike these two off-trail routes (in-down canyon-out) of Barbershop Canyon Creek then connect with FR139C for a loop back to my vehicle campsite. Unfortunately, on 6/18 when I had planned to do this loop, there was a group with a loud barking dog camping over this Father's Day weekend at Camp GH #2. Since I would have to go through their campsite to connect with the off-trail route into Barbershop Canyon, I decided to just redo my 9/2/22 off-trail hike route further down FR139C to enjoy a short, lush green and actively flowing creek down Barbershop Canyon hike section and that is exactly what I did this day! 
I hope to go back again for one week sometime this coming AZ monsoon August'23, hopefully to hike (down canyon) this section of Upper Barbershop Canyon Creek between my two now recommended off-trail entrance/exit locations. Maybe a new HAZ Hike Guide will be justified too! |
