Superstition Wilderness - AZT #19
As my contribution to the Arizona Trail in a Day fundraiser, I hiked the Rogers Trough to Reavis Ranch segment, and back. As the forecast was for the mid-eighties in the afternoon, I wanted to get an early start, so I stepped off at 4:45am. There were seven other vehicles in the parking lot when I left. I hiked with two headlamps until almost 6, which made some interesting pictures possible. Thanks to @The_Eagle warnings regarding the uncertain trail near the Reavis grave, I had created an extra subroute in high detail in that area. I’m glad I did. The trail really was messy near there. My GPS will only load 200 points for a single route, which can be pretty coarse for a long hike.
I met a couple of parties coming out with packs heavy with apples. They left me some, and I picked a dozen or so low-hanging fruit to take back. There were plenty left on the ground for the animals.
I spotted some deer at the trailhead, and again near the ranch.
On the way out, I collected an abandoned tent about 3 miles in. If you left this here, shame on you. At around 5 miles in there was another abandoned camp site with junk strewn everywhere. It was more garbage than I could haul out. |
