Back in the Mazzies again for AZT-in-a-day, Sections 48-49 from The Park to the East Verde. Suggested approach was via Mineral Creek TH and North Peak trail, but that road and trail aren't the most pleasant. So I started at City Creek TH > up to the AZT > south to The Park > back north to the river and out to Doll Baby. Some extra hiking miles, but I don't mind. The only water I saw was isolated pools in the forested canyon along the south end of the passage.

NOBO all day roller coaster through the Bleak Hills with three rattlesnake encounters. Two in the morning curled up silently in the shade at the edge of the trail waiting for the sun to find them. A third in late afternoon crossing the road ahead but who then had to stop and get all riled up even though I waited patiently from a distance. A few handfuls of gravel gently tossed in his direction finally encouraged him to continue.

The cache box at Tiger Mine TH was stuffed with mostly public water, and the box at Freeman TH had at least a dozen gallons. The large metal tank at Beehive Well was full and overflowing slightly with decent water.

Day 1 of 2 to knock out the long, remote passages between Kelvin and Oracle. NOBO, not terribly interesting until Ripsey Wash and Big Hill. The cache box at Freeman TH had at least a dozen gallons of public water, the box at Florence-Kelvin had a half dozen.

Super fun hike + easy canyoneer route. Water was cool but not cold with neoprene socks. The side hike to the two waterfalls is a must.

Very nice hike, the main falls looks similar to Lower Calf Creek falls, but this one probably gets much less traffic.

Strong winds kept us from reaching the summit, but this is a nice hike. Starts in mixed forest (with some recovering burn zones from the 2018 Pole Creek / Bald Mountain fire) then heads up above treeline along ridgelines. I'll probably be back some time to finish this one.

Another excellent Wasatch steep-peak hike, thanks to @ddgrunning for posting this one. Returned via Slate Canyon (the next canyon to the south) and the Bonneville Shoreline trails. Slate Canyon has cool cliffs, but the hiking is mostly on rocky two-track.

Back for another counter-clockwise loop. Two years since the 2017 Boundary Fire devastated areas of the mountain, and new vegetation is thriving in the burn zones as nature does her thing to soften the scars and begin the recovery.

On the way down Bull Basin I met a crew of 9 Conservation Corps workers doing a beautiful job grooming and refreshing the trail, and they said that a crosscut crew will be coming through soon to take care of the numerous downed trees :y:. The full length of the Connector has been flagged, hopefully that means it is also scheduled for maintenance. Upper Pumpkin also had some flagged sections. So awesome that these trails aren't going to be abandoned!

Can't believe it's been 5 years since my last visit to this amazing place. Flooding last winter scoured off a lot of the HG vegetation, but it will recover soon enough.

From the north end: down PCT > up ERT > across Milk Ranch mesa > down WWT > up TT > return. East Rim is a bold little route, very fun, saw a mama cinnamon and 2 cubs on the mesa, several small flowing creeks along WW, refreshing thunderstorm on the way out.

Fine loop, short but steep, with great views along the rim, thick forest below and a very short creek. Overgrown, long pants recommended.

Babbitt Ranch - AZT #35
Partners partners
writelots
Two-day AZT trail work event on the Babbitt Ranch re-route, getting the route off the ranch roads and on to new singletrack. The mini-dozer had made the initial cut, so the 30 volunteers (Day 1) and 15 volunteers (Day 2) pulled the dirt back on to the trail, separated out the grass and large rocks and smooth finished the surface. All together we finished out 1.75 miles. Pretty warm out there but the breeze kept it tolerable, and since most of us volunteers aren't used to hard outdoor labor, trail boss Wendy kept the work days fairly short.

Wet Beaver Canyon Loop
Partners none no partners
Took Bell up to the rim and back down, then went a couple miles up Wet Beaver Creek. On 2/14/19 the creek gage hit 10,000 CFS; the flood scoured out nearly all of the smaller trees and vegetation in this section and the debris is now piled on the upstream sides of the surviving large trees. Must've been a sight to see. The canyon is more open now and a bit easier to travel - there's still plenty of rock hopping, wading and swimming to do, but no bushwhacking. The water was clear and refreshing as usual.

Biked down the highway from the top then hiked NOBO from the Gordon H campground. Excellent climb on quality trails that's just as rugged, scenic and enjoyable as the regular passage. Great views throughout and very green at the higher elevations.

Down Colonel Devin, east to finish up my last stretch of the Highline, back up on Babe Haught to FR300, mtn bike return to start. Cool and breezy, flowing water in probably a dozen drainages between Washington Park and Tonto Hatchery.
