| no partners | | This was a wandering hike that utilized a few trails accessible from the Adero Canyon TH in Fountain Hills.
I went out-and-back on the North Leg Trail and then did a double loop facilitated by using both of the Sonoran Connector Trails. In reviewing the route, it looks like some sort of fractal geometry is in play. Next time I will make a triple loop out of it.
While on the Lower Sonoran Trail I ran into Gary, who is the trail steward in charge of maintaining the Lower Sonoran Trail; he does a great job btw. He told me that the Fountain Hills Conservancy will be doing some much needed trail maintenance on the portion of the Sonoran Trail that is in the McDowell Mountain Regional Park, and will also be doing maintenance on the Dixie Mine Trail from the Sonoran Trail to Thompson Peak Road. The Dixie Mine Trail probably hasn't had any tread work done on it in 10 years or more, so I look forward to seeing some work done on it. |

There was a fair amount of brittlebush and scorpion weed along the way. |
