One more of the 100 Hikes down, with the wife! We decided to go counter clockwise and get the elevation over with quickly. It was steep enough to definitely slow us down. On the Waterline we were basically hiking a dirt road, then back on trail when we got on the Bear Jaw.

I started from the Abineau-Bear Jaw TH around 6AM with the goal of hitting Rees and Abineau Peaks. I'd checked out a @ddgrunning route from July'21 [ photoset ] that was ~10.5 miles and hit both peaks, along with a longer @LJW figure-eight from Oct'22 [ photoset ] that included both peaks and dropped down to the Inner Basin. Depending on time and how I was feeling, I figured I'd decide on the final route once I was on Abineau.

The forest was almost eerily quiet as I started up Abineau, and a few elk scattered early on. The trail gains ~1,800' over the first two and a half miles to Waterline, then it was easy hiking on the highway over to the Bear Jaw intersection, where I left the trail to head up to Rees. There was quite a bit of deadfall to navigate early on, followed by a long scree slope before I reentered the forest and passed a few patches of snow on the way up to Rees. The views from the summit were impressive but partially obstructed by trees.

Next up was Abineau, roughly a half mile away with some steep and rocky sections. The 360° views were fantastic, and I took a snack break at the summit and signed the register. I dropped down the ridge on the NW side of the summit to check out the B-17 wreckage about a third of a mile down. I found quite a few metal scraps, but mostly small pieces and none of it recognizable as specific plane parts to a non-expert like me...I'm sure I only saw a fraction of what was out there if I'd spent more time exploring.

It wasn't 10AM yet, so with plenty of time remaining, I decided on the longer route and hiked back up to the ridge and then west toward Humphreys before dropping down toward Beard Spring/Beard Canyon. That was a very steep, loose descent that required some effort to avoid ending up at the bottom of the mountain in ~10 seconds, and I ended up with a few extra pounds in my boots after surfing/sliding down in the deep dirt and rock. Flat, solid ground was very welcome when that was over.

I followed some roads and drainages over to the deserted Inner Basin and explored that area a little before turning around to get back on Waterline and circle around the east side of the mountain. A maintenance worker near one of the pump houses was the first person I'd seen all day. It was easy hiking along Waterline with some nice views from the rare gaps in the trees. I connected with Bear Jaw to finish off the figure-eight a little after 1PM and only saw two hikers the whole day, both fairly close to the trailhead at the end. Overall, a really enjoyable hike with a mix of on- and off-trail, a few peaks, great views, a crash site, and very few people.

Fourth time on this loop. One of our favorite spots for fall colors. Started at 1250. The parking lot was full, and vehicles were parked on the road up to 300 meters away. We parked 70 meters from the trailhead and started from there. Despite all the vehicles, we saw only about 12 people (and 10 dogs) over the entire loop. Went up Abineau, counterclockwise. The aspen leaves were green at the bottom, but bright gold a little over a mile in. There were small clusters of vibrant gold leaves mixed with pines for about a mile, then no gold the rest of the way along Abineau. Along the Waterline Road, it's all pines for about a mile, then vibrant aspens. Surprisingly, the upper third of the Bear Jaw Trail, which is usually the best spot for fall colors, was almost completely bare, as almost all of the leaves had fallen. There were clusters of golden leaves in the middle third of the Bear Jaw Trail, and one very large area of vibrant gold color as far as we could see. The Lower third of Bear Jaw consisted of mostly green foliage with a few trees that were turning gold. The weather was great. Sunny, upper 70s at the bottom, mid-upper 60s at the top, shaded the entire way. We saw plenty of gold, although less than anticipated, and had a beautiful day overall.

Aspen leaves were green at the bottom, at their golden peak about little over a mile from the trailhead, and way past their peak (almost bare) further up in altitude.

Headed north at the ripe hour of 3:30am. Grabbed some carbs in Flagstaff then drove into the blinding sunlight around the Peaks. Only two other cars in the lot at 6:30am.

Made good time heading up Abineau. My phone was changing time zones the whole time, probably because of my proximity to the reservation. Took a brief break at the top of Abineau before cruising down the forest road. Passed a few pairs of people along Bear Jaw and returned to the now full parking lot shortly after 9:30.

Drove east on FR418 on the way out to switch up the scenery. Super beautiful views of the San Francisco Peaks. Still some sizable patches of snow hanging on above tree line.

Checked out the snow situation on the Abineau Bear Jaw Loop. Always cool to see how much snow is still up there in late May. Being the north slope of course it hangs on for quite awhile. The upper Abineau portion had the most snow pack as usual and the beginning of the Waterline road had a healthy snow bank.

Took a lunch break on Waterline before the Bear Jaw junction. Aspens were leafing out lower down but on Waterline it was still winter for the aspens. Heading down Bear Jaw almost no snow left and easy hike back to the trailhead.

I hiked part of this loop on 10/14/2023 with my mom to see the fall foliage.

The road to this trailhead definitely requires higher clearance after Hart prairie. There was a deeply rutted section on the way in that we navigated easily in a jeep, but I did not think the passenger car (Tesla) we saw later on our way out had an easy time with it.

Also, the parking lot is small, so if it's prime leaf-peeping season on the weekend expect to show up early to get a spot. I expect that at other times of the year this is less problematic. I'd estimate that we arrived around 8:30am and watched the solar eclipse for 45 mins-1 hour and the lot was fully by the time we started hiking.

The first 1/2 mile on Abineau did not have much color at all. Once we reached the intersection of Abineau and Bear Jaw (we went left to follow Bear Jaw), the color started appearing. From there we hiked about 1.5 miles along Bear Jaw before turning around. The foliage was nice, but do not expect it be like Aspen corner since this section of trail is not a large aspen stand. That said, I would say this area was at peak color last weekend. There was no green in the lower elevations that we saw and we could see some trees that were already bare. If you go further to Waterline or beyond, you'll encounter more trees, but we did not go that far.

As for the trail conditions, it was a wide, smooth, gradual track for the majority of the 2 miles that we hiked (I believe it's an old road). Suitable for people of varying fitness levels and I would say the section of Bear Jaw that we did is dog and kid friendly. We encountered many hikers and a few trail runners, but I would not say the trail felt over run.

I left the house at 4:30 a.m. to beat the crowds and arrived to four other cars at the trailhead at 7:05 a.m. I drove in from the west for the first time and found the road pretty nice and it felt far shorter than my previous drives in from the east, but I know the difference is only a mile. Unless I have a bad memory, I feel like there are a few more homes than what there used to be along that road.

This has been one of my favorite hikes in the Kachina Peaks Wilderness for years and it did not disappoint today. I always start with Bear Jaw for this loop. The fall colors did not get good until about six-tenths of a mile from the road, but still lots of green. I can never estimate these things, but I imagine prime conditions are about a week out still. I did not run into anyone until nearly five miles in. I took three quick breaks with the dog and at least one of those was out of necessity for me. That road climb can feel a little tiring, in spite of the easy walking. I started to run into people as a I descended Abineau, which seems to be the most popular direction of travel, which kind of makes sense due to the loose and steep upper stretches of the trail that I imagine are less tedious going up hill. I pretty much ran into a steady stream of people with about a mile left.

The trailhead was absolutely packed. I have never seen so many people and cars at this trailhead. Every spot was taken and there were cars parked along the road leaving the lot. I swear this used to be the lower key destination on that mountain at one time.

Great trail all day and great temps a handful of downed trees, but nothing out of the ordinary.

First hike of the day with Bruce. Got started to wonderful temps in the low 60s, some clouds, and a strong breeze. Steep hike up Abineau, and I felt sluggish, but we eventually made it up to the road. Easy hiking after that, as we made our way down the road and then down Bear Jaw. Bruce demonstrated how to roll down a trail, claiming it saves wear and tear on the shoes, but I was not convinced, and think I prefer to stay on my feet. Seems like Bear Jaw has more eroded spots than I remembered, but overall in decent condition. Saw two other hikers and three dogs. Felt nice to be hiking out of the heat.

Saw about a half dozen different varieties, mostly at the top of Abineau.

I woke up to a tremendous 4am thunderstorm in the valley, and a neighbor's tree was down in the street. Hoping this was not a harbinger of things to come, we headed north to the cooler countryside. We took the west route off 180, as Schmoogle indicated it was 1 mile closer than the east route. I thought I had remembered reading that it was also a smoother drive, but that wasn't the case. Currently, the east route is the recommended path.

There were 2 other cars in the parking lot to start with. As is typical of "The Peaks," they were generating their own weather, and the mountain tops were covered in clouds all day.

Starting in the 60's, we ascended Abineau Trail to the Waterline Road. The trail was steep and rocky in some spots, but the views opened up as we climbed. On the Waterline Road, we experienced gusts that reached close to 50mph. I actually felt cold for a while (which wasn't a bad thing given the August heat wave). We encountered a woman from the valley who had camped overnight with her 3 dogs. She mentioned that the wind had blown hard all night, making it difficult to sleep in her tent.

The descent on Bear Jaw Trail was uneventful. I then demonstrated to Linda the proper technique for extinguishing flames if caught in a fire: the classic stop, drop, and roll. There were about half a dozen cars in the parking lot when we left.

Storm clouds parted to reveal freshly snow frosted San Francisco Peaks, which seemed ideal for a spur of the moment snow hike on Abineau-Bear Jaw loop. I hit the trail at 3:50 pm, with no snow, sunny skies, 35 degrees, and one other car at the trailhead. Went up Abineau first. A dusting of snow appeared at the bottom of Abineau, which gradually began to get heavier as I climbed higher. A few other boot prints belonged to two descending hikers, the only others I saw on the whole loop.

When I left the tree cover in Abineau avalanche alley, the bitter wind was racing through the canyon, which was covered in several inches of fresh snow. Humphreys stood high above, caked in white, while ragged clouds sailed quickly across the skyline.

At the Abineau/Waterline junction, I fought to keep my jacket from sailing off into the canyon winds like an errant windsock as I changed into dry layers and added more. I questioned my decision to hike in low 20s, windy weather, but was committed and determined at that point. The scenery was absolutely worth it though.

I warmed up as I cruised quickly along Waterline, thinking of my last hike on this trail with Joe and Liz 12 years earlier. I turned onto Bear Jaw Trail at sunset, and thankfully the wind had died down. Bear Jaw was a straightforward cruise to the bottom, with steadily diminishing snow cover. Only needed a headlamp for the last half mile or so. 26 degrees at the trailhead at dark. A very fun and memorable hike!

Went to Flagstaff to see fall colors. On the road to the trailhead, the leaves are half green, half gold. Parking lot at the trailhead was almost full. Took the loop counterclockwise. Aspens are sparse along Abineau Trail, with occasional bursts of color. Fall colors are at or near their peak along the Waterline Trail as it approaches Bear Jaw and along the upper third of Bear Jaw trail. The leaves are beginning to carpet the ground. A number of groups were taking pics there. Spent some time taking pictures, exploring, and playing in the leaves. Other groups requested our photog skills as well. The weather was amazing. An excellent fall day.

20th trip to the SF Peaks, this time for Rees and Abineau, the only remaining summits on the mountain I hadn't walked over, as well as obviously the fall color. Lockett Meadow and Schultz tank TH were closed, so I came in from the ABJ side and did this figure 8.

Started a little before sunrise. The precipitation that had rolled through the previous evening/night had left clouds below the mountain to the north. Great views of them from Abineau.

Waterline revealed as prime of fall conditions as I've seen on it in person. Around the Bear Jaw junction was just perfect. I left Waterline road and headed up for Rees hoping enough snow had dropped to keep it mostly above board.

Rees took me longer than I'd hoped, but it wasn't because of snow. At some point the inversion layer rose to my level and then above. When I made Rees the unparalleled Inner Basin views were obscured by the cloud deck. Made for a very dramatic ridgewalk to Abineau.

After that I dropped into Inner Basin around Beard Canyon. Peak fall color all over IB made for a great descent, especially being so close to the bottom of the clouds. Around Bear Paw spring a big black bear walked up the road to about 20yards in front of me. When we noticed eachother it took off. I had seen only a few traces of bears up there before the fire and the closures, and since then I've seen a few in only a couple trips. Attribute this to the lack of human traffic and the reduced habitat.

Had Inner Basin to myself probably due to the Pipeline closure. Clouds made the yellow pop. Waterline looping back around was peak. Bear Jaw maybe had the best color of the day. Absolute peak higher up.

Glad to complete the summits and would be difficult to dream up a better day for it.

Day 1 of Road Trip
We had planned on doing the Inner Basin Trail, but the access to this hike was closed, so we ended up doing this one. This is a hike up the side of the mountain, then walk along the road and then a drop back down the other side of the mountain. Hike was okay, only a few chances for good views.
