Great hike down into Grant Creek. I went in via trail #326 to P-Bar Lake, then down trail #75 and the #306 Grant Cabin Shortcut. The burned sections really opened the views down into the Blue. Once I got down to Grant Cabin, I only fished about a mile towards Moonshine Park before I had to head back.

There were a bunch of people out on this day, which was expected. I was able to get my dad to come along and he enjoyed the easy steady climb. It was a clear day and we were able to see Mt Lemmon, Pinal Peak, and Picketpost Mtn. rather easily. It was nice to see everything so green.

We started down the switchbacks at 6:30 pm and arrived at the campground at around 9:30 pm. The hike in was pretty easy since we didn't have to deal with the sun. I have never been here and I thought the place was beautiful. However, from what others have told me, the new campground looks pretty desolate. Nonetheless, I can see why Edward Abbey spent 35 days here by himself. It was hot, and we spent a lot of time in the water. The hike out wasn't too bad for the first 9 miles. The night we hiked out, we didn't leave the campground until 6:30 pm. Again, we didn't have the sun and it wasn't too bad until we hit the switchbacks. Going up the switchbacks was slow and brutal, but we made it. It was almost 10 pm when we got to the top. I already can't wait to go back. Next time I think I will have a mule bring in lots of good food, that way I can spend more time down in there.

I love the stream along this trail. It was a nice day, not too warm. I saw a few people and a couple other fisherman.

This hike really got my heart rate going quick. It is only 3 miles one way, but it is a little bit of a climb at 10,000 feet. My brother and I started the hike around 10 am and got to the tower in just under 2 hours. We spent a lot of time at the look out taking in the views and trying to identify different points of interest. It was a nice day and we were not bothered by any storms until we got back to the car. As we were descending through the canopy of aspen trees, we could hear a storm moving in. We couldn't see anything, but the thunder was really loud. It was a cool end to the hike.
