A short leg stretcher before some chores and a Cardinals loss. This is a nice little loop that gets some decent views.
Pine TH was packed. Best weather of the year.

Talked to a lady that's section hiking the AZT doing OAB's.
She did 8 miles today, gonna take awhile.

Havent hiked in for-ev-ver.. WStarted at pine TH and went up to Dripping springs and then back down to the Highline for a few miles and then back. Pine View reminded me of hiking the lower Sierras. iPhone is busted so no photos or routes but trust me it was a great day.

We did this hike as part of a road trip. Left SE Mesa at 0645 and headed north to Camp Verde. Traffic on 101 was very light. In Camp Verde we found our way to the river and watched a couple groups of kayakers launch, chatted with a young lady from Sedona who shared her knowledge of the area with us. Once we tired of the bugs we continued east on 260 to make our way to the rim. At the 87 junction we turned left as I wanted to check out the upper Pine Canyon Trail Head which I had never been, the continued our way through Strawberry and Pine to the lower Pine Canyon Trail Head where we had lunch at one of the new picnic gazebos. During lunch the clouds moved in which made this hike very pleasant even with warmer temps. First time on the Pineview Trail #28, which was really nice. Easyhiker gave this loop very high marks and wants to return this summer with a hammock, is that even called a hike?? On our way through Payson we attempted to make a stop at Wendy’s for a Frosty but the dining room was closed and the drive thru was too long to wait, so off we went. A quick an uneventful cruise back to the valley ending a nice trip.

Short little morning hike to hit a couple of trails I had not been on before. Beautiful weather.
Nice short sampler loop, with views to Pine.

Out and back from Pine Trailhead. Added Pine View trail onto the end. Donahue is a nice trail, just not a destination hike.

Nice temps starting out, but up to 90 by the end.

Fun on the trails in Pine. Weather clouded up nicely so it wasn't too hot. Steep climb for decent, but not breathtaking, views.

After Yesterdays Hike where I felt really out of it, I checked into a hotel in Payson, Had two Woppers for lunch and a medium Pizza for dinner. Today I felt great like I could hike even further than I did, in spite of the fact that the temperature in the shade at 1:00 was 100 degrees. Really scenic along the Pine Canyon Trail. should of went further up the trail but wasn't sure how I would do in the heat. On the return trip I took a side trip on the Pine View Trail and returned via the Highline Trail. The signs along the Pine Canyon Trail do not agree with each other as far as mileage goes, The older signs reflect the old Trail before they added the new Bike Friendly trail.

First of two hikes in Payson. Actually stumbled upon this little loop. First, planned hike, got rained/mud out (Orchard Trail). So my wife and I drove around Payson/Pine/Strawberry waiting for the weather to break. Discovered this TH just south of Pine. Very nice access point to the Highline Trail. Did this loop counterclockwise. In on the Highline, then west on the Pine View and then back to Highline on the Pine Canyon. Elevation gain was minimal and all on the Highline. The trails were wet, but the Pine View was the only one that was really muddy. Temps were in the 60s when I did this little run. It doesn't get much better than that for a July morning

From Pine, took the Highline east to a nice camp at Geronimo creek. The next day I continued to the Washington Park TH, up the old rd and reached the rim via the Col Devin Trail.

Then it was hiking along the general crook trail, which is almost entirely the rim road, to lee johnson spring, headed down here and this is where it got interesting. Despite what mytopo claims, the east webber trail doesn't reach the rim. It does, however, have one really tough obstacle. I don't know how Joe did this with the Eagle, but right now it's about a 5.7 move on wet sandstone. I thought I might break an ankle. After this there are a few other obstacles but nothing major until you reach the slickrock "spring" area. After this is a half mile gauntlet of blackberry brush and cliff rose, along with a ton of deadfall and even a rockslide. Somewhere in upper East Webber I lost my hiking pole. Maybe someone will find it someday.

Scared up 2 elk and made it to West Webber creek where I realized there are no established campsites anywhere along that trail. The next day I went up to Milk Ranch point and down Donahue and made it back to the TH.

Dropped off the snow-covered Rim, south to the lower trail head, east to catch Donahue back up then road walked back on FR 218. The canyon north of the camp is gorgeous, nice flow in the creek from snowmelt.
