We had no trouble getting to the parking area. As we descended into the canyon, I was thinking of was a nice easy trail, just walking in the forest. But the further we went, the more interesting the trail became. Rock formations on both sides of the canyon were beautiful and fun to explore! We continued to the end of the track, where we could hear ATVers on the nearby forest road. We saw a handful of other hikers and about 10 mountain bikers. Not bad for Labor Day weekend! The wildflowers were on display, which was a fun surprise. The skier was also fun to see!

There were pockets of water with lots of tadpoles, but nothing I would have wanted to drink unless the situation was really dire.

Escaped out of Tucson to get some outdoor time in up in Flagstaff. Fun little hike with the pups. Very cool rock formations. Gate was closed based on level 2 fire protocols (that's what a local told us), so add about 1.2 miles to the route. Only encountered one biker. Got out before the rains hit, nice little moderate hike.

Carolyn and I did this hike as an out and back from the west entrance off of FS #237. (1.1 miles from the Shell station.). It was 66 degrees when we started at 8:00 and 81 degrees when we finished. When we got to the confluence with the Pumphouse Wash we mistakenly traveled south down it for a short ways before backtracking back north to FS #237. We stopped just before the road not wanting to scramble the last several hundred yards up the wash to the road. I was hurting today. It took us an hour and 10 minutes to reach our turnaround and an hour and 30 minutes to climb back out, I'm gong to blame it on last night's red wine at dinner. The hike came in at 6.3 miles in 2 hours and 40 minutes with 580 feet of AEG.

Carolyn and I did this as an out and back. The toughest part was finding the start of the trail. What makes it confusing is that FS #9498A is a horseshoe loop with both entrances to the horseshoe very close to one another. That and there are now two entrances to this trail. both intersect shortly after their respective beginnings. With directions provided you want the second entrance to FS #9498A which is 1.0 miles from the Shell Station on FS #237. You then hike .1 miles down FS #9498A to the trail or just park there on the side of the road. Call this the East Entrance. Alternatively there is another entrance just .1 mile further west on FS #237 from FS #9498A. There is a slight pull out and you can see the trail heading south. Neither entrance is marked or cairned. But once you get on the trail is well defined and easy to follow. A popular trail with mountain bikers as it is pretty gradual smooth single track.

We incorrectly drove down the first entrance to FS #9498A and parked about a quarter mile down that road. WE then bush whacked south and west until we intersected the correct trail coming in from the east entrance. Our hike came in at 5.0 miles in 2 hours and 5 minutes with 570 feet of AEG. A beautiful trail with lots of tree covering. We didn't make it all the way down to the confluence as our initial error put us in a time bind. A great trail that I'd go back to.

I loved this forest hike. We went on a Saturday evening. Only 2 other cars at the head and we ran into them fairly quickly. There are so many interesting rock overhangs and formations leaving plenty of opportunity to explore off trail. We saw water about 1.5 miles in and it was there until the end of the maintained trail. A little rocky, but very manageable. My dog had a blast too.
