| no partners | | This hike has been on my list so I decided that today would be a good day to do the hike.a
Most people seem to start from Kachina Point, but that hike seems a big long over some choppy terrain with a bit of scrambling, so I decided to go a shorter route from the southwest.
I hiked about 6 miles on a hard packed dirt road, with the remainder being through open country. The entire hike was class 1.
I drove in through a patchwork of private land and state trust land, and never saw any negative signage. I parked at the end of the signed Gregory Road.
I hiked about 4.5 miles to get to the National Park boundary. Most of this was on the aforementioned road. Once I got close to the park there was a section that was kind of like going through a maze that was kinda fun.
I located the benchmark and both reference marks at the summit. These date back to 1919, so they have been there a while.
It was an enjoyable hike, although it would have been better if the temps had been 10 degrees or so cooler. |
