First trip of my two-week furlough was camping at Rock Crossing CG and hiking part of AZT #27.

After setting up camp and visiting the reservoir, I hiked north from the 751 trailhead for about a mile to 751B, then looped back on the road. Absolutely gorgeous trail and weather. Birds were pretty good, and I saw a lovely Gopher Snake. Checked out some good dispersed campsites along 751B, and got a nice rain shower along the way.

Started out early the next morning southbound from 751 to the East Clear Creek crossing and back. More excellent trail, more great weather. Heard some elk and found five baby short-horned lizards.

Saw zero people on either trail.
