Hiked to the old stone kiln on the way to do the ridgeline loop. It was crazy windy this morning on the summit.

Sky Island loop before the bald eagle closures start on December 1. First river crossing was up to 1 foot deep and our second river crossing had a 1.5-foot-deep section. The high county has great views down to the river, the lake and of course the two arches.

Went out to see the two stone kilns once used to make quicklime from limestone. It must have been quite a sight to watch them in action. Does anyone know of a third kiln in the area?

Went up the scramble route to Black Cross Butte. Took the trail over to the Chalcedony Cave. From there we looped around the butte above the cave. Finally went out to a viewpoint down to the Salt River.

Beautiful day at White Pocket. Lots of exploring to be had there. The drive in is tiring with the long sections of sand and washboard.

Hike to see the fall colors around Marl Lake, which is just south of Higgins Lake. Did indeed see red and yellow trees along the shoreline. Saw several other groups on this mostly level trail.

Short loop hike to see the golden larch trees. The initial half mile is a steep trail. Saw many families and kids doing the hike to see the golden larch trees. Lucky to see some bighorn sheep too.

Used a lifted jeep (with lockers) to drive the terrible "road" to the trailhead. Extended the loop to explore Tarp Canyon and see the cliff dwelling area. First time on these scenic trails, just wish the road was maintained so everyone could experience them.

Went up to the crash site of the North American F-100F on April 4, 1960. It is a rugged area for sure. Lots of debris remains at the site. Continued up to peak 3958 for lunch. Expansive views up there.

Did the loop through two canyons. Started early to avoid any jeeps on the 4x4 road section. The east canyon is fun with the boulder obstacles and narrow section.

Fun time finding a way through all the boulder obstacles. Turned around at the junction with Lost Dutch Canyon. Most unusual sighting was of two separate dead foxes in the canyon. One was on top of a boulder and the other was on top of a log. No obvious cause of their dead. Any ideas?

Went up to Circle peak and Miners Summit. Both have great views and are walkups with no scrambling.

Hiked into Crucifix Canyon from Mesquite Flat. Decent set of cairns exist for the steep section into Crucifix Canyon. From the canyon floor there are good views up to the old rickety wooden ladder. We did not hike up to the Bat Cave. Continued down canyon to a viewpoint of the Salt River.

Hiked in from the lower (east) trailhead. Also went to the Perez cabin and explored the cave near Toney Ranch.

Came across information about the homestead at the following website:

The scramble down is doable without ropes. Some exposure but okay for the experienced hiker. The canyon is a maze of obstacles to find an acceptable passage through. Placed a second car at the end to avoid the road walk. This is much more than a normal hike. Rather this is a fun scramble route for those interested in route finding, tunnels, boulders, crawls, butt slides, use of hands, ...
