We also boulder hopped up a steep lava flow/scree slope known as "The Phoenix" because from Nutri it looks kind of bird-like, with wings and a head. (See photos.) We also didn't start at any of the mentioned trailheads for the Govt. trail but on a very old road you can barely see and there is no parking by it. I could find it again, I guess! Anyway, it was a neat hike mostly off trail, until we hooked up with the upper part of the Government Trail and then onto the main trail to the tower.
The group of kids in the photos is Apache Rescue Team, a local youth group that does search and rescue and also first aid at mountain bike races. It's always fun hiking with a bunch of lively teens! |
