Rincon Valley - AZT #8

Another late day close to home hike, this time a section of the AZ Trail #8, Rincon Valley. We had done this one before and it's a good easy hike from X-9 Ranch Road To the Monument Boundary. Can tell this was made for mountain bikers because of the rather monotonous extra long loops to avoid ups and downs (probably a fun mountain bike trail but I will never know, at my age I would have to use a tricycle). Anyway, a fun trail to do late in the day around sunset and a nice trail to do after the Agua Caliente Hike. At the start of the trail from X-9 road about .1 miles in is the Confused saguaro (see Photos) looks like it was having a bad arm day. No water along the trail except at Rincon Creek that had a light flow at the trail crossing. Finished up just after sunset on Rincon Peak.
