With the day off and wanting to continue my quest to finish all Supes hikes I headed up FR650 to the Reavis Canyon Trail parking area. The sun had not yet risen when I arrived and the wind was blowing pretty good so a light jacket was definitely on for the start; if you didn't know I rarely hike with a jacket on so yeah it was cold! I hiked a portion of this trail a couple of years ago but needed to finish the last three miles. The first 3.5 miles is a gradual 800-foot climb following the creek. This being the AZT the trail conditions were pretty good, however, it was brushier in some spots than other sections of the AZT that I have hiked; it just needs a little love in some spots. The next couple of miles are a steep 1,700-foot climb up to the top of Montana Mountain. It is a steep, slippery climb with a million switchbacks on the climb up.

Shortly before reaching the top just below the AZT gate, you enter the Adessa Fire burn area from this past July. Everything is pretty much moonscaped from this part up except for a small area on the ridge. Walked out on the ridge to catch the views and took a break to rehydrate and a small snack before heading back down. Uneventful but slow hike on the way back down trying to stay upright on the steep sections. Came across a doe on the way out and no people the entire day. Got some much-needed nature time and was able to check off another trail in the Supes.
