Wife and I decided to conquer this loop as an overnighter. The Gap trail is steep, with no switchbacks taking you up the main two sections of greatest elevation gain. The rocky footing made for some sore feet. The second day was much easier, although we had trouble finding circle-stone on the Fire Line trail. Of note, the final section of the Fire Line trail was steep and rocky. Finally, the Campaign trail was a fun trek along the creek, which was flowing quite well.

We headed out on what was a great weekend to spend in Oak Creek Canyon. The water was flowing, the sun was shining, and the birds were chirping. We followed the backpacking advice we found in previous Triplogs for this hike.

The GPS coordinates are fairly accurate. A signal was difficult to maintain in some spots, but if you are patient, you should pick one up.

Finding the campsite trail: The trail was fairly easy to "find". Once you are past the 100 yard stretch that requires you to get wet, hike on for about 20 minutes as suggested. Next, you will notice a smooth rock "slope" to your right that leads up to what is becoming a bluff. This is the spot to walk up and find the trail. It starts out fairly visible but tends to dissappear in some spots. We had to bushwack for a majority of the trail as it is unmaintained. However, once we found the campsite, we found an easier, shorter trail down to the creek which accessed a couple of deeper pools.

Overall, a decent place to camp. It is about 50-60 feet off the canyon floor, and the trail is dangerously close to the edge at times, be careful.

Least to say, it was Eastern weekend and we were determind to finish this loop...We struck out at around 7am, arriving at LaBarge Spring at around 1pm. We then hiked hiked on and camped in Marsh Valley. We found an awesome campsite! The next morning we set out for the Terrapin Trail and finally reached the Pass. The view of Weavers was great! We only saw two other people on the trail that day. We finally made it back to Peralta TH ar around 3pm. We carried in all our water; 13 liters in all. But were surpised to find many pools along Bluff Spring Trail, LaBarge, and Terrapin. Anyhow, we pack light, so it wasn't an issue carrying all that water.
