| no partners | | I'd lost count of how many times I'd driven by Jake's Corner after other hikes and thought about stopping at the ruins and then decided "next time". Today, it finally worked out after hiking Buckhorn Mountain and Camelback Peak earlier in the day. The pullout near the corral was mostly full, so I ended up parking a little farther north near the 184/184D intersection.
It was a short walk up to the hilltop ruin from there, through some unique geology--lots of vertically-oriented dark rock. As expected with a civilization-adjacent site like this, there wasn't much to see--no pottery, a few short sections of medium-high walls but mostly deteriorated rock piles, and some trash on the way up.
I wandered down around the corral to check out the petroglyphs/inscriptions. It was a cool little canyon back in there, but it was a mix of graffiti and ancient stuff. I didn't hang around too long because the location of the private property boundaries wasn't very clear, but it was a quick, easy stop and nice to finally check it out. |
