A weekend car camp near the Gila Cliff Dwellings during the heart of the summer monsoon of 2008 (which was actually pretty good compared with the dud of 2009). Hiking friend Deb and I set up camp at the Forks Campground near Gila Hot Springs from July 25-27. This is a neat spot where the East and West Forks of the Gila River converge. I just love camping during the summer rainy season, especially when it's rocking and rolling!! :)

We did this wonderful loop hike on Saturday the 26th. An easy 8 miler with tons of scenery. EE Canyon was really the best part in my opinion, but coming back out along the West Fork of the Gila was a blast too. It was a wet and wonderful weekend! :y:
