| partners | | | I hadn't hiked with Lesa in a couple years so I was excited when she reached out to me to do something with her and her KY high school friend Ronnie. Decided on Geronimo Head which has been on my list for a little while now. Started from the Tortilla Flats TH and up we went. Nice trail for the first mile and a half up, then we crossed a creek and it was no where to be seen, west of the creek it had burned in the past as it was full of grass, however, east of the creek, no burn and the washses were choked. We bushwhacked up the side of a steep canyon to the top of the ridge. From there it was pretty minimal climbing to the first overlook. The views were phenomenal! So many Superstition landmarks to see. When then worked our way down to a small wash before climbing to the highpoint (Geronimo Head) Once again the views are breathtaking! Had a break at the summit, before starting back. On the hike back, there were some brief up and down's and we made a brief stop to sign the register before bushwhacking down a steep, boulder choked wash. This part of the hike seemed to drag on forever and sapped a ton of my energy. Found a single hiking pole that I used to get this part. lol By the time we made it back to the creek the temp was about 80 and the sun was hot. Made it back to the trail and had an uneventful hike back down. Tough hike with great company, not sure if I'll do this one again, it's a ton of work to get up on top. Thanks Lesa for the invite! |
