Made it to the top this time! Had some thunder and light rain on the way down but nothing too bad. Beautiful area!

Parked at Cow Camp then hiked cross country to Picture Canyon. Headed up Picture Canyon then off a side canyon headed northeast towards Sheep Peak. Headed up a ridge and followed that to the saddle between Picture and Wagon Canyon. Headed down Wagon Canyon then cross country back to Cow Camp.

I started the Mt. Moriah trailhead marked on Google Maps. At the very least a high clearance vehicle is needed to get there. 4x4 would be preferred.

From the trailhead I walked back down the road to a sharp bend and followed an old jeep trail up the ridge coming off the northwest side of the peak. From the end of the jeep trail I just followed the ridge to the summit. From the summit I went down the south side then around the east to an old mine and what was marked as a pack trail on Gaia. The pack trail was more of a sheep trail and way too scary to follow for me so I went back up to the summit then followed the ridge off the northeast side down to the Moriah Table. Not being a fan of heights it was a little scary but doable.

I then headed northeast to the edge of the table where I ran into a herd of elk. I followed the edge of the table in a counter clockwise direction until I got to a trail that led into Big Canyon and then back to the trailhead.

Other than the jeep trail and the trail into Big Canyon everything was off trail. There is no trail to the peak. You're on your own getting up and down from the peak. No rock climbing required, just lots of loose rock and dirt. Very beautiful and remote place. Pretty good cell service with AT&T. There are plenty of spots to camp in the area.

Hiked up Lovell Canyon, through the Anniversary Narrows and up to Anniversary Peak. From the peak we hiked down the southeast side into the Bowl of Fire and back to the parking area. One of my top hikes for sure. Interesting mining relics at the beginning of the canyon, amazing slot canyon, some scary heights, and beautiful views.

I made it to the end of the road with my Jeep Wrangler no problem. Nothing even made me stop and consider my route before continuing. At the very least you'll need high clearance to make it to the end of the road. I don't think 4x4 would be required, at least not the day I went. At the end of the road there is a nice aspen grove you can camp in.

The trail up is brutal. After you finish following the jeep trail it's just a foot path that goes seemingly straight up the mountain in spots. There is plenty of water to filter until you get to the meadow. I only made it to 11K feet and had to turn around due to continuing thunderstorms. I was super bummed because this one has been on my list for a long time and is very time consuming to get to. 7 hours one way drive for me.

It's a very remote area and very scenic. Even though I didn't make the peak I enjoyed my time there.

The road had some damage from the recent flooding but nothing requiring 4x4. As long as you have high clearance you'll be fine. The hike from the trailhead to Hunters Cabin was pleasant. You start in a very healthy joshua tree forest and end up in a mix of ponderosa, fir, and aspen forest by the cabin. From the cabin to the peak you head through a mix of juniper, pinion, ponderosa, and bristlecone. From the cabin to the peak is brutal. Only a use trail that pretty much heads straight up. The area is very unique and beautiful. The spring at the cabin, wiregrass spring, was flowing enough to fill my hydro flask every couple of minutes. Due to the excessive heat warning I went through far more water than anticipated and ended up drinking unfiltered spring water. Hopefully it's safe. Sure tasted good.

Beautiful and remote area. The road to the area where I parked and walked the rest of the way is easily doable by any high clearance vehicle. Past that point the road gets worse and worse. Drive as far as you think your vehicle can make it. Getting to the actual peak looked very steep and rugged with some minor rock climbing required. I opted not to do it and decided to take a side trip to Keystone Spring which had some water in a few depressions in the ground and some ice in the improved spring area. I also headed up Live Oak Canyon, which is a side canyon of Keystone, and checked out an old mining area. Very enjoyable place!

Didn't have a shuttle so I road walked from Lake Williams Trailhead to Bull of the Woods Trailhead on Twinning Road. That added about 2 miles to the hike. It was foggy, cold, and windy all along the ridge and on the summit so I couldn't see the views. Coming down towards Lake Williams it finally started to clear. The area is very beautiful and I wish I had more than a day to spend there. There were a lot of people and a lot of dogs on this hike.

Hiked up Pine Shadow trail to Manzano Peak, then down Kayser Trail to FR 422 and walked the road back to the Pine Shadow trailhead. Pine Shadow Trail disappears for about a mile once you hit the crest, so we just walked the crest until we were able to pick up the trail again. Other than that the trails were in good enough shape to follow without trouble. Not too many down trees to climb over. Got caught in a large thunderstorm towards the bottom of Kayser Trail so no more photos after it started hailing. Saw 4 other people the whole day. It's a very beautiful area.

The road to the Johnnie Canyon trailhead requires high clearance, but not 4x4 unless there is bad weather. The drive through O Bar O ranch had countless private property signs, but the road itself is a county right-of-way so people are free to travel through, you just can't stop. Johnnie Canyon trail was in rough shape but overall wasn't too difficult to navigate. There was one small seep spring in Johnnie Canyon that had water. Carrizo Peak trail had seen some recent maintenance from the intersection of Johnnie Canyon to about 1 mile west of that point. Beyond the saddle Carrizo Peak trail has become a social trail. I lost the trail a couple of times but quickly found it again. I got lucky with the weather and had amazingly visibility with some beautiful clouds. This area is great to visit if you want some solitude and adventure.

Loop hike starting near Lincoln Tank. I hiked up to Sign Board Saddle on a well maintained trail. From there I hiked down Aspen Canyon towards Black Canyon. There was water in a few spots in Aspen Canyon, and it was mostly untouched by fire. Aspen Canyon trail is very well maintained. From there I hiked up Black Canyon. Black Canyon had water the whole way up to Reeds Meadow and was easy to follow, but there were several downed trees along the trail. It was mostly untouched by fire. From Reeds Meadow I hiked up the Black Range Crest trail towards Reeds Peak. This trail was damaged by fire but is logged. It is being overgrown by thorny bushes and there was several downed trees to get over. It was also difficult to follow in a few places. Squeaky Spring had plenty of water. From Reeds Peak I hiked down the North Fork trail which no longer exists. I was off trail throughout the whole canyon. The whole area was destroyed by fire and there is a lot of downed trees and flash flood damage to navigate. This trail was a nightmare. The North Fork meets the Mimbres River trail which was in the same condition, destroyed, for the first few miles before finally leaving the fire damaged area. Once free of fire the trail was some what easy to follow in places and some what difficult in others. There are dozens of stream crossings throughout the North Fork and Mimbres River trails. North Fork and Mimbres River had plenty of water. From Mimbres River it was back up to Lincoln Tank and the car. I didn't see a single person until the last couple of miles of trail where I saw one person camping. The area is beautiful but the trails are not well maintained or nonexistent with the exception of Black Canyon and Aspen Canyon.

I loosely followed the Sage Creek Wilderness Loop as described in Backpacker Magazine. I didn't see another person out there the whole time, just lots of bighorn sheep and buffalo. There was little to no shade and no water that looked usable so I wouldn't try to tackle this one in summer.

An enjoy hike through boulders to the top of "the pinnacles" near Lake Arrowhead, California. The views from the top are outstanding. A fit hiker can knock this hike out in a couple of hours.

I've been missing Arizona lately so I thought I'd post photos of my latest hike. These are from Hoge Kempen National Park in Belgium, one of the closest hiking areas to where I live. I walked around roughly 70% of the park in about 7 hours. The lakes are actually our gravel pits that have been filled in. The day started cloudy and cool so I didn't see many people. By the afternoon the sun was shining and people were everywhere. It was an enjoyable way to spend a Saturday.

I walked form my hotel, The Modern, to the top of Diamond Head. I couldn't help but include one photo from Waikiki beach that I loved. All in all a very beautiful hike with some interesting history. Be prepared for crowds. Coming back down I saw a taxi and couldn't resist a ride back to the beach :)

It was a bit cold getting our feet and legs soaking wet every morning, but once the sun finally came out it warmed up enough to be enjoyable. Once you pass Hells Half Acre Canyon the trip is beautiful. I couldn't have asked for a better final backpacking trip in AZ.
