| partners | | Returned to Redington Pass to hike the Eastern section of the Arizona Trail #10. We started along Redington Pass Road and headed north to a wash crossing that we had done before. After a short break we returned to our start point and headed south along the trail to the Italian Spring Trail head at Tanque Verde Creek. On our return trip we took the Italian trap 2 track back to our start point. I wanted to check out the road to see if it was passable and a means of getting to the Italian Spring Trail Head. It is but not sure it is worth it to bypass 2.3 miles of hiking (4.6 round trip). Would probably take as long to drive as the 2.3 miles along the Arizona Trail would take to walk.
Great hike with good weather, the little bit of rain we received a few days ago was barely noticeable, although it did put snow on the Rincons. Very dry and the cattle are complaining. The area around Tanque Verde Creek is interesting even though the creek was dry. Italian Trap area has lots of ranching history and there is a lot to see in this area. The steel water tank at Italian Trap along the creek was empty and the side broken out of it. Ten years ago the tank was full with water being pumped into it. Plan on doing another hike this time from the Chivo Falls North entrance and hike up Tanque Verde Creek to Italian Trap, I remember this was a scenic portion of Tanque Verde Creek. |
