7 years ago when I hiked the Joe's Canyon Trail, I continued up to Montezuma pass with the intention to go down to the border and do this entire mini-segment of the AZT. then a monsoon rolled in and when I got to the junction of Yaqui Ridge and Joe's Canyon a thunderbolt hit nearby and I was gone. so now I had to go back just for this mile. This actually worked out because after a 21 mile hike the day before, a good night's sleep in Sierra Vista and a short hike the next day fit right in.

Interesting to see the new segment of the border wall and the big road that been built. I don't think the road was there 7 years but it is very fresh looking. Saw one hiker on my way done to the border and on on my way back. Also saw a Border Control agent hiking down the Joe's Canyon Trail on my way back.

Very nice weather and very nice lighting for the scenery on this hike.
