| partners | | I wanted something a little higher up with some water and a hike down Rogers Canyon in the Supes fit the bill. Arrived at RT a little after 8 with 14 vehicles in the parking lot which is the most I've ever seen. Before we headed out I talked to a guy who just came back from the ranch and apparently all of the 14 vehicles occupants were at the ranch (Reavis City). I asked about the apple crop and he advised there were little to no apples. The Reavis Trail as expected was good most of the way; there are a couple of areas where the trail crossing the creek flooded but not hard to pick up the trail again. Made the left turn at the junction and started down Rogers Canyon. Like it was when I last hiked this area in March, the trail is there for the most part as it shifts from bank to bank, but it is brushy in some spots with some of that brush being the prickly kind (boy did I miss the feel of catclaw shredding my legs). Made it to the ruins where I relaxed next to the creek while S headed up to explore the ruins (I think it had been decades since she was last here; yes she is old ). After some time at the ruins we continued to Angel Basin. The trail was pretty nonexistent in this section and the trail that was there went through catclaw forests. Had lunch there before an uneventful but warm hike back to the TH where there was only 1 vehicle there. Besides the person at the TH, we came across a couple and a dog who camped at Reavis Saddle near the junction and that was it. The only wildlife besides birds and lizards was a Gopher Snake who did not appreicate S walking up to him. My ankle did fairly well, it was pretty sore on the hike in but calmed down on the way out and feels good the day after. Great hike with tons of water and green scenary. Thanks S for joining.
Disclaimer - 172/172A took a beating from Priscilla. High clearance with 4wd is highly recommended. It was a slow, sloth pace up and back down. |
