| partners | | We had a little bit of time for a short hike close to home so we opted for Tanque Verde Creek. We started at the upper trail head that heads down into the wash where it ended (We avoided Tanque Verde Falls because the creek was dry and it usually is a zoo of people). The rest of the hike is a route up the creek. We hiked to Aliso Canyon where there is an old two track that makes a loop to the east toward Chivo falls. We didn't have time for that but it is an interesting hike I did a few years back and maybe at another date we will do that.
Not sure what to put as AEG so I went with what it said when I uploaded the route. My GPS said 550 and the topo map said 280. Hard route to get an accurate mileage or AEG, lots of ups and downs as you climb over, around or under rocks in the creek bed. What ever the AEG I believe a correction factor should be added for Ginny as she is 20% shorter than me and one small step for me is a giant step for her. Really beautiful canyon with all the polished rocks, easier to maneuver since the only water was in occasional pools. Canyon opens up just before Aliso Canyon and easier to walk in.
A lot has changed in this area since I last hiked here, there are now expanded parking lots at the upper and lower trail heads and a trail that connects them, also the trail down to the creek has been improved. Just as a side note the area down by the creek at the end of the trail has been posted as clothing optional. If hiking in this creek during monsoon season be aware of flash flooding. |
