| partners | | On day 2 in the Chiricahua’s we hiked the South Fork Cave Creek. We had hiked the lower portion before but instead of continuing up stream we headed up the Burro trail about 1.1 miles. This time we intended to hike up the creek hopefully all the way to where the crossover trail to the Horseshoe ridge Trail meets. This would have been a 15 mile round trip so I didn’t expect to make it that far, Good to set high goals. We only made it but 4.6 miles in far short of our goal, trying to keep dry boots at all the Creek crossing took up too much of our time. I’m a bit faster at crossing but it was fun watching Ginny do the crossings, very entertaining. I’m glad we managed to do quite well keeping them dry. I’m like Linda, I didn’t want to hear my hiking companion complaining about soaked feet the rest of the hike. Beautiful canyon the trees are starting their spring show. No one on the trail after the first mile after passing all the bird watchers. We will have to do this hike another time when the stream is easier to cross or bring water shoes.
