| no partners | | Moved to Tucson in May. Spending the summer in the sky islands. Flat tire on the drive up. We came to Riggs Flat Lake so he could fly fish and I downloaded a few gps tracks for some short hikes to do with the Pug, 11 year old Zo, and Quinnie in the sun.
We stayed at Riggs campground so I decided to do the Jesus Babcock trail. Maybe it was my gps just being off, but the track seemed to follow a canyon full of ferns and vegetation to start. Not a trail. Don’t be like me. Look for the obvious trail, follow your instinct. The trail is higher and to the left of the gully. We finished on the trail. It was a little toasty for the Pug so we cut the short hike shorter and headed back after taking some time to orient ourselves and identify Lemmon and the Galiuros.
The trail was ok… nothing to write home about really, except for the views and the quartz.
We had 4 collective bear sightings on this trip, along with 2 bald eagles around the lake.
Probably will come back to the campground because of the nice infrastructure… but in spite of the other patrons, who really stunk up the trip (noisy, washing themselves, washing their dishes, cleaning their fish in the only potable water spigot right below our site). However, they all cleared up early on Sunday leaving us with a peaceful final night at the campground. |
