| no partners | | Last time I hiked from the Spur Cross TH I did a 19.2 mile loop with some mistakes. One of those was at Cottonwood Spring where there are two trails and I was on the wrong one for 1/4th mile and had to turn back. But that left me wondering where did that trail go? It was not a Cave Creek official Forest Service trail.
So today I went back and hiked 5.5 miles on the usual route to the Cottonwood Trail and on to Cottonwood Spring. Then I picked up the unknown trail there and followed it back. It went for 2.9 miles to intersect the Spur Cross trail just 1 mile from the parking lot so the going out trip was 5.5 miles and the coming back trip only 3.9 miles. This unofficial trail was in great condition and easy to follow by an experienced hiker. I got it right on the first try. GPS track files for the 9.4 mile Cottonwood Spring loop and the unofficial trail connecting Cottonwood Spring to the Spur Cross trail have been submitted.
I must admit I was surprised. |
