| partners | | Joined Chumley and 9L for the Y Bar, Matazatzal Summit and out Barnhardt Trail loop. Good temps even a little on the warm side for December but overall good conditions. Up Y Bar and the ankle rollers galore before reaching the saddle and off trail portion of the hike.
The off trail is a fun scramble up the east side of Mazatzal Peak. Lots of rock cliff bands to negotiate and great views as we ascended. Eventually hit the summit and took a nice lunch break before starting the descent.
The descent starts easy enough before being funneled into a drainage. Lots of fun rock srambling in this section and started seeing pools of water and then some light flow. Some of the pools were fairly large as we got lower. We made it through the drainage and to where Barnhardt crosses.
Back on trail it's an easy cruise back to Barnhardt Trailhead. Nice hike that I like to do every 3 years or so. |
