| no partners | | Unfortunately I had no fabulous plan to start of the hiking New Year so I began by driving out Bush Highway, hoping for some sort of plan to coalesce organically. And so it did... as I was approaching Blue Point I came up with the idea of a hike in the area between the Blue Point and Water Users Recreation sites, possibly snagging a bighorn sheep sighting along the way.
With the thought of possibly extending the hike later, I decided to begin from the Sheep Crossing Rec Site parking area, cross the bridge over the Salt River on foot, follow a meandering route toward Water Users and returning along the contours of the Eastern slope, hoping to spot something like the group of five I encountered in that very area 2.5 years ago.
No such luck this trip, so upon returning to the car I set off in the opposite direction from Sheep Crossing Rec Site on a short off-trail loop of sorts, eventually taking a photo or two of the Blue Point bluffs. Nothing else of interest popped up so that would be it for my first hike of 2026. |
