| partners | | Preston, Brian, and myself headed over to the east side TH and did an out and back on the Stronghold Trail. Seems this trail traverses the most interesting granite boulder terrain of the range, with the geology north and south of the fault where the trail runs having less scenic slopes and no large impressive features. Mount Glenn to the north, and China and Cochise Peaks to the south looking a bit more like the Whetstones with sedimentary layers of limestone or marble, or other rock.
This was a new area for me, and a good introduction to the range. Something about the scenery and day reminded me a lot of when I would go to Sedona from Flagstaff, 15 years ago. The vegetation is very similar.
East of the pass there was a lot of water, with the Halfmoon tank holding a lot of water, and the streams flowing well further down. West of the pass there was a small waterfall, but no other surface water.
Stats are from Preston's old official route, cloned, reversed 1, joined, and then synced. Seems syncing trimmed a lot of AEG. |
