My daughter requested that I recommend a trail for a family hike and I came up with this one out of the Spur Cross Trailhead thanks to a triplog posted by @LosDosSloFolks. It was one of the few trails out of Spur Cross that they hadn't done before. The Spur Cross parking lot was nearly full when we started at 11:00am but once we got on 247A we didn't see another person until returning on the Spur Cross Trail following Cave Creek. I tested my fitness by trying to keep up with my 2 grandkids on the first uphill sections and had some success. But I was lagging behind on the last half of the loop and got back to the parking lot about 15 minutes after them.
