| no partners | | Spent the night up at Cunningham Campground (had the CG all to ourselves), and hiked down the Grant Creek Trail from the CG to the crossing with Soldier Creek, about 3.5 miles one way. Recent trail maintenance up the upper part of the trail and the conditions were excellent. The connector from the CG up to the ridge has been reconstructed on a slightly different route and now cuts up somewhat past the switchback on the old road segment (32.68172, -109.89644). Trail maintenance stopped and the drainage, although after some route finding it was found staying high on the east side over an escarpment and continuing down. Lots of deadfall and poor trail, so we turned around and did the 2200' climb back to the CG.
Bring your bear spray, some pretty health scat on the trail. Also snakes, we surprised a Northern Blacktailed Rattlesnake just below the CG at 8800' on the evening walk the night before the hike.
No water to speak of. Some pooled water above the trail crossing in Soldier Creek, but not really accessible. The creek was dry by the time the trail reached it. |
