| partners | | | Andy and I were looking for a hike this weekend and when I found out he had never been out to the eastern Supes to check out a huge Indian ruin site I knew where we had to go. This area had been hit by the Black Fire over the summer so I was curious how the area fared and it turned out not so well. The trail starts with a 500-foot climb up to a ridge then drops into a valley only to climb another 400 feet to a different ridgeline. As we made it to the top of the ridge the wind was relentless and made it pretty cold and miserable as I kept the jacket on. After a bit, we bushwhacked and climbed up to a plateau to where the ruin site sits. I was last here 2 years ago and the ruin is as big as I remembered with numerous rooms and pottery shards everywhere! We spent some time enjoying the ruins before heading back. The wind had died down a bit on the way back and the climb back up to the first ridge dragged as we were both tired at this point. We passed one hiker heading up the ridge on the way out and that was it for the day. Got back to the truck and took the scenic way down the Apache Trail. |
