It's high country season!
I always start with Grant Hill Loop on Graham.
Completed the clockwise outer loop followed by the Hospital Flat nature trail counter clockwise.
Felt so good to be hiking the top of the mountain again!
:D

Aspens just starting to turn color.
Short stop at Hospital Flat.
Got a video of a black bear crossing the Swift Trail on the drive back down.

Dirt road portion of the Swift Trail has been reopened for summer.
Hiked the Grant Hill inner loop to start.
This is a bad burn area and I knew it might be a mess from winter ... it was.
Actually...the first 2 miles was not that bad, but the western portion was a mess with lots of deadfall.
I hike this complex now for the overlooks and they were scenic as always!
I then drove to Hospital Flat for the nature trail, down the back trail over to Treasure Park and back over to Hospital to end.
I stayed at Hospital for the sunset.
It's May, but when that sun goes down at 9000 ft ... cold!
Wildlife - Too many deer to count and I stalked 3 gobblers at Treasure Park.
Fun day, always good to be back on top!
:D

Grant Hill's aspens looked golden good from my Plain View Peak hike the other day, so Grant Hill was the choice today.
Completed the outer loop clockwise.
Had a conversation with an endangered Red Squirrel right at the start, he seemed mad at me?
These trails were worked this year and are in great shape!
I enjoyed the 2 big overlooks and had a nice chat with a couple at overlook 2.
This whole badly burnt area will be a magnificent aspen forest one day, it looked real good today and I look forward to watching it's growth in the future.

Ended my day with a twilight hike up to Ladybug Peak for sunset.
Not as many ladybugs up there as my last visit but there were still several hundred clumped together.
Sunset was a good one followed by a fun night hike down through the forest by the half moonlight.

Temps are finally starting to drop ... it's time to get off the mountain and start exploring this AZ desert again.
:D

Have mixed thoughts about this hike.
The good-- flowers, views, obvious great work by the trail crews ( the chainsawing must have been insane), and great temps, lots of Aspen about 20 feet tall. 3-4 springs were running.
The bad--Pretty much an Aspen and Fern hike. A few isolated older Aspen survived the fire, and there are a few patches of intact pines. Not much shade on the hike and no intimate forest experience.

In about a month the small Aspen should be pretty good. Other than this probably being the most rehabbed trail on top of Graham it's a bummer as opposed to before. Still enjoyable for those wanting a short filler hike or to see some color. Pictures will be mostly documentarian in nature. I did a sort of figure 8 to get the overview.

Was recently told the outer Grant Hill loop was cleared.
This whole complex was badly burnt by the Frye Fire.
Drove up to check it out with low expectations.
Wow! Not only has the entire outer loop been worked, but worked well!
This was a 40 man DOC group that not only cleared the trail, but widened & rerouted it in a good way to get around some of the bad burn areas ... they did a great job.
Enjoyed the entire loop, very green and beautiful throughout.
Almost felt like the old days before the Frye Fire ... almost.

With 2 hours of light left I stopped at Treasure Park for a road loop hike around the meadow and dinner on a nice stump I found.
Sunset was had at the Arrow Tree overlook.
Wildlife spotted - 10 white tails, 1 buck in velvet, 1 red squirrel, 3 Abert's & 1 skunk.

Great day, big thanks to the DOC crews that are keeping these upper trails alive, would be nice to see the Forest Service do something good up there ... anything!
:D

As of Aug 2nd 2023 AZ Healthy Forest Initiative Crews re-opened the Grant Hill Loops. First time in 6 years these loops have been fully open. They are in need of follow up work to improve the tread for biking, but nearly all deadfall/blowdowns are out. Want to help with improving this trail or others on Mt Graham?Please see my signature line for contact information.

Figure 8 - Cunningham Spur :next: Hawkins Trail #74 :next: Hospital Flat :next: Swift Trail :next: Grant Hill.
Plan was to get the newer Hawkins Trail connector completed, but a risky washed out gorge turned us around just before completing ... live to hike another day was the new plan.
Cunningham Spur - Great views across the valley and up to the Large Binocular Telescope.
Hawkins Trail - Newest Graham connector trail needs some touch up work, like a bridge over to the Big Creek Trail. We off-trailed down the canyon over to Hospital Flat.
Hospital Flat - Very green and beautiful with a light creek flow.
Swift Trail - Took around to Grant Hill.
Grant Hill - We took the shorter outer loop to the big overlook. Overlook was windy, but with very clear sky views south out to Dos Cabezas, Wilcox Playa & the Chiricahuas.
Wildlife along the way - 4 white tails, hawks, buzzards, Abert's squirrel, ground nest with 4 of the smallest bird eggs I have ever seen & bear poo ... lot's of bear poo!
Thank You Addie & Graham!
:D

The upper back portion of the Swift Trail reopens this Friday the 21st.
One of my favorite trips every year is to hike the road pass the locked gate before the summer crowds move in.
We took the road first up to Grant Hill then made our way down and through the campgrounds.
Always so cool seeing and having this whole area all to ourselves.
Still some big snow patches here and there and all the creeks were flowing good with snow melt.
Hot chocolate & strawberries was our break at Treasure Park before hiking back up to the start.
Lots of wildlife spotted including 10 deer, 12 turkey and a lone Abert's squirrel.
It was a good day on the Graham!
:D

I was misled on the first 1/4 mile of this trail because of some large fallen trees. That made the faint road appear to turn to the right when I did not. After reaching what appeared to be a dead end, I needed to bushwhack UP. Eventually, I hit the same road again but I didn't know it was the same road until going back down again. Once on the road it was easy to follow, however, there were so many fallen trees crossing the road. That slowed me down a bit. This trail needs some serious maintenance. Near the end of the road, I was able to bushwhack UP and toward the peak. There were a lot of aspen trees at the top which were fairly easy to squeeze through. Eventually, I reached a clearing which was the peak. I didn't see a registry here but instead an open grassy field. On the way down, I tried to go around the aspen trees from the other side of the peak. Once I got on the old road, I decided to stay on it all the way to the bottom. Then, I found the confusing junction about 1/4 mile or less from the trailhead.

Well I screwed a little of my plan up today.
Drove up and hiked the Spur Trail to get the cords/mileage on the new Hawkins Trail #74 connector to make a description. Here is the short, I lost my info ... will have to go back up again another time.
Anyways, I hiked the Spur Trail :next: took Hawkins to Big Creek :next: then across Hospital Flat and a tad down the Nature Trail :next: up to Grant Hill where I had parked.
Not much water flowing right now on top, the meadows are greening up nicely, not another person spotted on the trails, 80 degree sunny blue skies with a cool breeze & the wildlife was hiding today.
On the drive back down the mountain I must have passed 50 vehicles going up for the holiday weekend, including Game & Fish, DPS and 2 fire crews.
Fun times on Graham!
:D

First drive up & hike on the now opened upper back road.
Grant Hill was the choice in the early am with TH temps at 35.
Did the outer big loop ... well 3/4 of it, the last lower trail looked like a mess so I passed.
Half of the trails looked good, half were a mess. Had it not been for the cairns & red tree tape, I would still be up there. This trail needs a lot of maintenance!
Still stings hiking through this very fire damaged area, but also nice to see all the undergrowth (and baby aspens) coming in.
Wildlife was crazy on this one - Driving up and trail I counted 24 deer, 8 turkeys, 4 Abert's squirrel, dozens of spiny tail lizzards & 1 big bobcat.
Great hike to start my upper mountain hiking season!
:D

One last hike up on top before the Nov 15th seasonal road closure.
Chose Cunningham for the scenic overlook views.
Half way up I encountered a new FS trail head sign ... what?
Hawkins Trail No. 74, a new connector trail linking Cunningham over the mountain to Big Creek ... cool!
Took the new trail over and down to Hospital Flat.
Had a close encounter with a bobcat walking the meadow then noticed a couple G&F bobcat traps set up. Not sure what's going on here ... rabies or just removing a few. There have been a lot of bobcats on top the last few years.
I then hiked over and a little ways down some of Grant Hill where I found 2 more bobcat traps.
Highlight of my day was meeting 2 of the FS Trails & Rec girls at Hospital Flat. We had a good talk and I got some good info on future plans for the mountain.
I had a good day!
:D

I went to the range to pick peaches at the Angle Orchard, which I highly recommend. The peaches are excellent.

This hike sucks. The overlook was ok, but the rest of it is so overgrown it reminds me of the Arcadia Trail. Tons of dead down material, too. I won't be back. Also, I removed every other wish hike I had for the range. High Peak was okay, since that is a wide open road and the summit of Mount Graham was enjoyably, but if the the half-assed trail fixes on the crumbling Arcadia is any indication, I won't be doing any other new hikes in post burn areas for a long time. Perhaps Heliograph from Shannon Camp, but that didn't burn that much in 2017.

Guess I will have to go to the orchard and figure out something else to do after.

Outer Loop clockwise.
Western outer loop portion is still a mess and hard to follow, we skipped it.
A bit humid, but cool temps. Had a few sprinkles hit.
Stopped at the 2 big overlooks to gawk along the way.
Ferns are getting tall and it was a better then expected flower show.
Another day well spent on the mountain with Jayden!

Was looking for a nice cool hike and figured the Pinaleno's were the perfect place. Made the drive up the Swift Trail near Mt. Graham and parked at the Grant Hill TH. Last time I tried to hike the outer loop the trail was pretty overgrown and had a ton of deadfall from the Frye Fire and we had to turn around about 2 miles in. A refreshing 59 degrees as I started up the old road. Made it to the overlook and admired the views for a bit before heading up Grant Hill. This is the part we turned around at last time, however, someone has spent a good amount of time on trail maintenance as carins mark the way for a pretty wide open trail. Made it to the top of Grant Hill, had some lunch and started heading down the back side of the loop. Whatever trail "used" to be in this part was long gone, however it was a pretty easy decent around some Pine, Aspens and a little bit of deadfall. Once the trail linked back up to the old road it was pretty easy to follow again. Made it back to the truck and continued the drive up the Swift Trail checking out a couple of spots before heading home. The regrowth of Aspens in the Grant Hill area post fire is insane, there must be thousand's of baby Aspens growing everywhere. The Pinaleno's are one of my favorite area's, will definitely be back this summer before the road closes up for the winter.

Clockwise outer loop.
Could not locate the last outer loop trail so I backtracked and completed a lasso loop.
Much thanks to the organization or person who is keeping these trails alive with the clearing and cairn building.
This hiking complex is getting very difficult to follow in many places due to all the new aspens and undergrowth since the burn. It will be an ongoing struggle for years to come keeping some of these trails from being reclaimed.

Had a good afternoon hike, saw lots of deer including 2 fawns one of which ran down to me in confusion before running back up the hill to mother ... cool!
Cloudy skies, cool weather & with some challenging trail puzzles : rambo :
:D

With Snow Flat closed because of logging I had to go with Plan B ... and I had no Plan B.
Threw together a loop I have though about for some time using a little of all the linked trails starting from Grant Hill. It worked out great and I got to see some new forest never seen.
Wildlife was great today - Chased 4 turkeys across Hospital Flat then had a family of skunks follow me down Grant Hill a few yards away and in turn I then followed them for about 100 yards, one of the coolest animal experiences I've ever had!
One white tail doe on the drive home ... almost forgot, another Red squirrel encounter.

The fact is I still love this hill, it's burnt bad, but I love hiking it's many loops.

Highlights - Ferns, young aspens, grasses, butterflies & bear sign everywhere.
Also, someone or FS has been doing trail work, it needs a lot more so to not be lost forever, but good on this!
Perfect high country temps, the overlooks are still amazing & there is some good green trees patches left.

Lowlights - Lots of burn and way too many new aspens growing on the trail.

Ended the hike with a rare Mt Graham squirrel pic ... cool
Good hike, just wish it was more like the old days :(
:)
