| no partners | | | I thought it was sofa king hazy because of being so close to the Pinto Valley Mine, but afterwards, on the drive home, it was really dusty desert everywhere. Weavers Needle wasn't even visible from US60 and the Supes southwestern massif only came into murky view once within Gold Canyon. This June-like July weather has really just sucked. It didn't seem that windy and the early cloud cover was definitely helpful on this tougher than expected loop. A few more miles than I'd calculated, quite warm and the trails weren't as clear as I'd thought they'd be. Bear scat everywhere throughout the hike, but the only wildlife sightings were bats above the road at the beginning, a small skunk crossed the trail on the western section and a roadrunner darted in front of the truck on the drive out through the mine area. The Tony's Cabin side trip was worthwhile. I'd like to return there, but probably in the spring when the creek would likely be flowing better. Haunted Canyon isn't the best Supes hike, but it isn't the worst either. The overall canyon is very similar to Campaign Creek (sans the granitic rock). As we're leaving, two hotdogging fighter jets blasted by, going south. This is a common occurrence in the eastern Supes, but usually about noon on weekdays. They were early birds today. |
