| no partners | | | This lollipop loop hike started out from the Blue Wash Trailhead on North Cave Creek Road then going down the wash to Camp Creek. On the return from the falls I followed a small side canyon going northeast to connect with the Maricopa Trail which then led me back to Camp Creek and Blue Wash to complete the loop portion of the hike. The trailhead parking lot was empty when I started at 8:30am except for 2 cars belonging to 4 hikers who followed me down the trail. When I returned at 12:30pm the lot was full with hordes of hikers heading to the Falls. It was a pleasantly cool day with threatening rain clouds to the north. I took my time enjoying being back in the desert foothills. There was very little water flowing over the falls and the creek dried up about 140 yds downstream from the Falls. The threatening rain clouds appeared overhead on my way back on the Maricopa Trail, so I stopped to put on a rain jacket and put the rain cover on my pack. I have found from past experience that these actions are usually successful in stopping the rain. After a few minor sprinkles, the rain clouds retracted back to the north and the sun came out. |
