I've been eyeing up hiking Scarlett Canyon for years now. My friend Tricia just bought a house up Cave Creek road a bit, so we decided to check out a local (to her) hike. Parked at the west end of Rose Garden (from Cave Creek road) and headed straight up the hill to the ridgeline. The trail up is plenty bouldery which makes for a fun climb. Great views from the summit and tons of planes flying overhead from nearby Deer Valley Airport. Came down an easy to follow trail on the northwest side. Trail continues south just behind some homes for a bit. Continued south and then east around the hill on a nice flat trail back to the van. Saw one other hiker. Parking for maybe 5 or 6 vehicles on the loop. There was 1 car there when we departed, and a different car when we returned.

The light rain had just stopped as I parked in the lot at the end of Rose Garden Lane. A white van, rather large, was parked there when I arrived.

There were numerous use trails from the TH, but ultimately a defined route led up the mountain. I reached the lower peak (1871') first, where I encountered the van's occupants. Twelve eclectic gentlemen, likely between 20 and 40, adorned with neck and face tattoos, were enjoying a smoke break. I greeted them and continued to Peak 2075.

With clear skies thanks to the morning rain, I enjoyed impressive views from Peak 2075. I descended the north side to the circumference trail to explore Union Mine, marked on the Topo map.

Fenced off but with an unlocked gate, I peered into the vertical shaft's seemingly bottomless depths. Next, I headed toward Scarlet Ridgeline (aka Roudy's Ridgeline).

A mildly interesting area rich in mining remnants, Scarlet Ridgeline offered a climb up the small peak 1646, rewarding me with stunning views of SR101. On my way back, I discovered a 30-foot-long horizontal mine shaft.

I've driven past this area hundreds of times without stopping. It's definitely worth revisiting if I'm short on time and need a workout hike.

After work hike. I used this excuse to do some “gridding”. I haven’t done “gridding” in forever and never in this area. Sadly, with the exception of the parking area and maybe the first 10 feet, I don’t think I did any of the Scarlett Ridgeline Loop. The parking is at the end of 12th St. at a dead end. There is room for about three cars in the dirt. There are a lot of user trails in this area and I wanted to be methodical in my approach. Power lines parallel the road running north - south and create an ideal corridor to help delineate my hike. Today’s involved all the user trails west of the power line, between the homes to the south and the business to the north. It was actually a fairly small area, it with all the trails running around there was quite a bit to, and also quite a bit of retracing as I went back to hit errant trails. There were a couple of hills on the western edge. Nothing really noteworthy. The one on the northern edge was the tallest and had a flat table top with about five different trails all ending at the top. None of the trails were special. In fact, most of them were broad enough for ATV’s and I imagine that is how most of them were initially created. Got sprinkled on while I was out there and the weather made for an enjoyable afternoon. I can see myself making 3-4 more trips out here to continue my “gridding”.

I've driven by this on the 101 numerous times and always been intrigued by it. I had no idea that this was Rowdy's Ridgeline! An area with history, some off-trail scrambling, and one of the dozens of mountain peaks in the north valley, so I set out to cross it off my to-do list.

Thanks to Larry for showing me some of the cool spots. Glad to see the ankle is getting better and Rowdy is getting his daily exercise!

Went out for two quick walks in an area I had never been to: Buffalo Ridge Park and Scarlet Canyon Park. Nice views of the 101 from both parks
