Training hike for the GC, and second backpacking trip for my Godson. We went SB from Picketpost TH and planned to overnight at Picketpost Mill. There was NO water at the Mill, it must not be producing anymore. We made the decision to hike back, and just car camp near Reymert.

The well was dry, the trough was dry, the tank was just mud (eww).

After 2 days in the canyon my legs were sore. Last push to get out of the canyon. Great weather for hiking, last 2 miles were icy/snow and had to use crampons.Saw a number of day hikers slip who were unprepared. Great experience,and glad to get back into the Canyon after 20+ years.

Perfect weather for hiking, a little chilly for sitting. Middle day of 3day trip, a little sore from S Kaibab yesterday.

This trail offers a lot of ways to kick your butt! Snow, ice, mud (crampons highly suggested) for the first Mile and a half, then puddles, cobblestone, tall water retention steps. However, that being said the views are amazing. My son twinged his ankle at about 2 miles down, but worked through it for the next two days.

I stayed at Rock Crossing Campground and used it as a starting point for an out and back hike SB from the campground, and later in the day did an out and back NB from the campground. Weather was really warm with the sun beating down. If you saw me, I was the guy hiking with the umbrella to stay in the shade.

Short hike on the north end of the trail. A few gallons of water at the trailhead left for through hikers. Chilly and windy. Probably saw 10+ mountain bikers coming nobo in this short walk.

Stayed in the Colossal Cave Park, and decided to hit a couple of miles on this trail. Did miles 6.40 to 8.5. Lots of mountain bikers today. The sun is brutal in these southern stretches of the AZ Trail. I wonder why the water spigot at La Sevilla isn't listed as a water source here. I tried it, and there was water. I would guess it is safe to drink, but I didn't need any since I was just doing a short day hike.

Wanted to hit 100 miles on the AZ Trail with the snake underpass on this section. I'm glad it was only 60 degrees because that sun was brutal!

Third time taking kids into this area. A great hike to find out if they will like backpacking. Relatively flat, nicely shaded, a number of places to make camp, and water in the creek all three times.

Great short overnighter for this time of year with my son and Brother-in-Law. Went SOBO from the Pine Trailhead. The daytime temps were 69-70 and nighttime didn't dip below 40. There was water at the Bradshaw Tank, but I wouldn't drink it unless dying. I'd rather ask the owner of the ranch nearby. We camped near Oak Spring, and the spring was nice and clear (we filtered of course).

Very pretty hike with some old friends from out of town. The leaves were changing, and the water was flowing. It was very busy on the way in, and I'm glad we got an early start because it was getting warm on the way out.

Took the family out for a day hike NOBO starting around Marshall Lake. A great gentle hike that the whole family enjoyed (For the 5 miles that we did).

Looked like a good area for water, but it was bone dry.

Great weekend for this hike. Although the wind was blowing constantly, the weather was great, and there was plenty of water in Whitford Canyon so that you didn't need to use the icky well water. Many flowers were in bloom, and the whole trail was green.

Started this hike at the Shultz Pass Trailhead and went SB. Weather was great for the first 2 miles and then it started to rain - real hard- for the next 3 miles. The last couple of miles we were pretty much sliding in the mud downhill. I wanted to check the spring along the way, but the volume of water coming from the sky would've made it impossible to tell the amount or quality of what is there. We ended our hike at Sandy Seep Trailhead, and will continue later when we get another clear weekend.

Wow! This hike took its pound of flesh. The southern portion of the trail is VERY overgrown and my arms and legs have the Arizona pinstripes to prove it. On the map, it didn't look like there was as much continuous elevation change as there was, but it was like hiking on a roller coaster. It probably wouldn't have been a concern if we were doing the loop as a day hike without the 30+ pound packs.

We camped in the corral that is Southeast of Cottonwood Spring, and it was an amazing night. It was comforting to have barbed wire surrounding you when you know there are big cats about.

Sights along the trail going clockwise: crested Saguaro to the north when you cross Cave Creek (about 4 miles in), a few five inch mountain lion prints near the spring (unfortunately my hiking companion took the picture and he hasn't shared it yet), leaves STILL changing on the cottonwoods along the spring, and a group of five adult, and four baby javalinas on the southern path.

There were a couple of puddles deep enough to filter. Water was flowing slowly for about 20 feet above ground. They tank is empty, and repair work seems to be at a standstill.
