. Started from the Cuff Button TH and hiked up Horrell Creek on the decommissioned Pinto Peak trail. My original plan was to take it all the way to Campaign Creek but last summer's monsoon storms have washed down tons and tons of sand into the creek covering all the cool looking geology that used to line the creek bed. After walking several miles uphill in deep sand (I hate hiking in sand), I finally made it to Mountain Spring and decided to eat lunch and call it a day (a majority of the trail has been washed away with only a small portion down low still remaining. This once beautiful, isolated area was hit hard by the Woodbury in 2019 with the dagger being the massive erosion from last year's monsoon storms. It will take years for the sand to eventually wash away. I don't think this area is worth the effort with the way it is right now. Maybe as the sand washes away and some regrowth occurs that is not scrub, holly or catclaw.
