The night before this hike I drove up to Rustler campground (~8,400 feet elevation) and met Jim H at a campsite. We camped overnight and the low temp was in the mid 50s. At night we had 2 deer that came within 8-10 feet of us, just after dark.
In the morning, we drove the 4x4 road less than 1 mile to a good starting point. It was only a short distance to the Crest trail, which we thought was an excellent trail. We took that trail about 1.25 miles to the Flys peak trail turning left. Both trails were maintained very well. There were many cut logs on both sides of the trail and the trail was shaded in many areas. This is one of the few trails that can be hiked in June/July in my opinion. It's better to hike in the morning, as afternoons can get quite hot. At the summit, there were a lot of trees that blocked the views, but it was a nice flat summit with a lot of space on top.
Throughout this hike there were a lot of burned areas, areas with healthy looking pines, aspens, ferns, etc. We saw a few deer during our hike but they ran away too quick for us to take a photo. After summiting Flys, Jim continued to Chiricahua Peak. I would have joined but I was too tired from hiking Cochise Head the day before. Also, I've already summited Chiricahua Peak and wasn't too interested in going again. Instead I summited Flys South which was the next peak South of Flys. See my triplog for Flys South for more details.
We didn't see any water the entire trip.
AEG (for both Flys and Flys South) was 1,390 feet
Strava moving time was 3 hrs 25 mins. |
