This is one of my favorite hikes. Lots of different ways to get to the peak without going to the lookout first. (3 months since last trek up there.) Hoping to get back to the arch next weekend or the next.
It’s interesting to compare the times and distance from the first time back in 2018.
This was a fast trip with K. Didn’t feel rushed and rested plenty of times. Poked around the different ledges and overlooks.
7 hours – 38 minutes round trip
1 hour 40 minutes rest
This route is about 1 mile shorter than going to the Lookout first. BUT there is no trail and its crazy steep.
Took a gallon of water. Came back with less that a quart. Cache of water from last trip is still there.
7:58 – Left Truck at trailhead
8:11 – gate
8:40 – first lookout
8:54 – Washout below red rock strata- They’ve done a really nice job repairing the trail here.
9:13 – Window and rest for 20 minutes – (hour and 15 minutes to here. Pretty fast 2 miles.)
9:54 – Saddle above Atascosa Saddle
11:10 - peak = (3 hours and 12 minutes from trailhead to peak.)
12:37 Left peak
1:36 – South End of Saddle
2:22 – Window
2:25 – back on trail
3:40 – Back at truck |
