| partners | | linda proposed a loop in the chiricahuas starting from the turkey creek area
saw two turkeys from the road right before setting out at 0700
cool temps in the canyon to start with, but warmed up quickly in the sun
i really liked saulsbury trail
moderate grade and good condition all the way to the crest trail intersection
linda spotted a good sized bear track near the split with rock creek trail
at the crest trail, we opted to go north to the flys peak trail
took a snack break at the summit, then descended to the south
linda graciously waited for me to hike up south flys
pretty easy off trail, but steep
both peaks were new ones for me
we continued to chiricahua peak and had more snacks
started down mormon ridge, then decided to finish on mormon canyon
new trail for linda, and the top part was new to me
shade and flowing water were nice
passed the campground, then linda had found a shortcut up to the trailhead
saved us some road walking
we saw one hiker the entire day, one deer and some lizards
stopped at johnny ringo's gravesite on the way out
this was a great hike, linda, thank you!
good views, good weather, mostly good trail conditions, new trails and peaks
love the chiricahuas, and there is so much more to do there |
