| partners | | Started from Helvetia Road and headed north on the Arizona Trail Las Colinas. Went in 4.5 miles to where we hiked two days ago. The Arizona Trail here is much more scenic than the sections just to the north. The desert gives way to an oak, juniper grassland. No flat walking on this section of the trail, you climb over a ridge just to drop into the next ravine before climbing the next ridge, repeat 3 times. The trail is in good condition and appears to have been worked on recently. I believe it is deer season so there were hunters out, only saw one group of two just as we were finishing up. We passed by the route I took up to Mount Fagan a few years back but told Ginny we wouldn't bother going up there, there is nothing worth seeing on the peak.
No water in any of the canyons as would be expected this time of year. Scholefield spring looks like it may of had a trickle a month ago. I didn't actually go to the spring site though, the creek below it had dried up algae in it. Great weather for this hike with a light breeze from the east. |
