| partners | | It has been 11 years since I have been on the Scotia Canyon Trail but Ginny has not done this portion of the Arizona Trail so I am doing it again. Very scenic trail though so don't mind. Started at about 0830 and hiked in to the Sunnyside Trail head where the Arizona Trail heads up Sunnyside Canyon. Only one other person at the Parker lake trail head and he was heading south to Miller Peak and then returning, going to be a long day. No one else along the trail. The first mile is a trail followed by about 1 mile of dirt road then trail the rest of the way.
Very dry the whole way with the exception of one windmill at about 2 miles in that had water in the tanks. The windmill was solar operated. The second windmill about 3.5 miles in was also solar operated but the only water was about 15 feet down the well. Scotia and Sunnyside Creeks were dry.
Didn't see any wildlife along the way but lots of tracks along the road portion of the trail. The Huachuca dirigible was visible for the first few miles. Amazing Juniper trees along this trail. Probably the only tree that looks as good living as it does dead.
My GPS recorded 5.1 miles in and 4.85 miles on return with an AEG of 1047 and Accumulated decent of 1007, I called it 1020 (split the difference). I noticed when I loaded up the route it called the AEG 849. Not sure why the difference other than how the triplog data is processed. I notice this difference on most hikes in particular AEG when comparing my GPS to Ginny's Route Scout data. Ginny says it's because I'm taller. |
