| no partners | | Another day with no hiking plan, with even less ambition than yesterday, which meant a full two-hour later start. An even shorter drive, just as far as the Bush Highway TH at Granite Reef Dam Road.
This was to be another hike during which I had absolutely no clue where or how long I would hike, other than avoiding existing trails. As it turned out, what little ambition I had faded fast and I decided to wrap it up by crossing the road to check out the ongoing re-construction of the Granite Reef Day Use Area.
I haven't spoken with anyone from Tonto NF for further detail, so I'm guessing the main reason is to enlarge the parking area, which would be a far cry from the previous tight, winding lane with very few parking spots.
