| partners | | Finished the Eastern Half of the Canelo Hills East. I really like the trails through the Canelo Hills, such beautiful Country. I enjoyed this section of the Arizona Trail a few years back when I did it and enjoyed it just as much this time. The trail is in excellent condition with a few minor changes in the route when they performed trail maintenance. The only hard part of the trail I thought was the first mile or so out of Parker lake where the trail was rocky, hard walking on rolly rocks. The pass at the mid point of the Canelo East trail seemed to take forever to get to because you keep climbing but never get to the pass, you cant see the pass until you are right about on it. Same for coming from the other direction. We continued on over the pass for about 1 mile to the point we hiked to the other week from the opposite direction. Met one other hiker on this trip he was taking a break at the pass. He passed on our return trip about 4:00 and said he was being picked up by his wife at Montezuma Pass near the Mexican border at 9:00 the next morning. Going to be a long night hike as he had at least 20 miles to go. I'm assuming his wife dropped him off at Canelo Pass but could of been Patagonia area. He was young and just got out of the army as a ranger. I can vaguely remember those crazy days when anything short of 25 miles meant you were a wimp.
The only water was along Parker Canyon Creek, not counting on cattle tank just off the trail. |
