This serpentine section of Oak creek is a true gem that never seems too crowded though it was busy this Friday. Loads of great swimming holes and shady riparian trail to explore and cool off! My brother and his wife were visiting from Vancouver, Canada and everybody thoroughly enjoyed the stroll! Don’t forget your dogs!

Super fun ramble through creek side forest! Dog friendly with lots of water to wade and cool off in!
The day use/parking fee is 11 dollars per car load. There are picnic tables, pit toilets and all kinds of areas to explore around the main trail. We did see a rather large rattlesnake sleeping, coiled up against the footings of a irrigation/water wheel apparatus.

Hit the trail at 8:00 A.M. with my 15 year old son and daughter's 18 year old boyfriend. After the first stretch of 3miles + through the wash we entered the deeper part of the canyon. I asked the boys if they wanted to loop out at that point and they said they wanted to continue the entire route. Well, they asked for it. That section of bushwacking is quite treacherous. The boys made it more nerve wracking by attempting to climb all the boulders they could, not realizing that getting back down isn't as easy as getting up. Anyhow made for a strenuous hike. I enjoyed the rough and ready trail portion. It was steep at times and we had pretty much consumed the 4 liters of water each of us had packed. If I had brought my filter I could have used it at several beautiful clear waterfalls. We made it back to the car around 3:00 P.M. and my gps showed an odometer reading of almost 11 miles.

Fun Hike! Like gpsjoe mentioned though be careful on the off trail portion of the loop after the visit to the cabin. Use the gps track as a guide especially during this section.
Didn't see a whole carcass but saw a couple cow legs under a bush outside the cabin. Beautiful sunny day but chilly at the higher elevations. Creek was flowing gently. Watch out for the catclaw it'll tear you up.

Excellent Hike. Very popular with trail runners and Mt. Bikers. Need to keep an eye and ear open as bikes approach rather quickly in spots. Actually saw some Mt. Unicyclists too! Never thought I'd see such a thing.

My son and I decided to backpack this time. We parked the car at the day use parking lot (UTM12 S 0491220 3799638). The ranger station said it is OK to leave your car parked there overnight. We hiked the trail all the way to the spring (UTM 12S 0494557 3802975) The trail is as posted an easy hike even with packs and the water is plentiful though we were careful to filter it even directly from the spring. We set up camp at a great site above the creek (UTM 12S 0494473 3802930). We ate lunch, fished the creek for a couple of hours, came back to camp and ate dinner. Had a nice fire in the pit and hiked back in the morning.

My son Luke and I hiked this trail. Man it is rough in spots! We were expecting it to be difficult but the overgrown creek bed sections were extremely fatiguing and I probably turned my ankle at least half a dozen times (time to invest in some real sturdy boots). Toward the end of the trail we veered left when we should have veered right and almost missed the summit, so backtrack we did, and were rewarded with some incredible views! Definitely a workout and slow going in spots but very dramatic summit area!

Enjoyed this hike alone except for friendly Red the Ranger up at the lookout tower. Stopped and visited with him for a while. He obviously enjoys Dinty Moore canned stew judging by the number of cans up there in the tower. Lots of black locust draping over the trail up to the tower. It's easy to duck under it but I still lost my hat a couple of times on the thorns. No sign of apples on the trees in the orchard. Red said they probably froze. Beautiful views through the scarred burned trees. Lush green meadows. Mountains and amazing rock formations and views of the Salt River valley. Workman creek had a fair bit of water although I didn't need to drink it. Saw a snake, many lizards, squirrels, birds and butterflies. It's a shame this trail is so far from my home (especially now with the cost of fuel). I would like to take my wife and kids up there and maybe camp out.
Thanks to R.S. for the gps route. By the way the road (487) was open clear to the top of the tower.
P.S. I feel like a dope. I must have walked right past the ruins. Anyone have the coordinates of their location?

I went with my wife to Pine Top-Lakeside. She was meeting some friends/coworkers at a cabin up there. I was on my own for this hike which I decided to try after reading Belladonna Took's triplog. I started around 11:00 A.M. and finished shortly after 1:30 P.M. I took my time as I wanted to record a gps track log with a receiver just recently purchased. Thanks gpsJoe for your advice on how to best do this.
The hike was beautiful, easy and relaxing although surprisingly warm considering the elevation. The distance on the trail guide says 6 miles but it's really closer to 8.

Like the other triplogs state. It is very easy to get off trail on this hike. My son and I started out to do a 2 day route last Saturday beginning at Fred Haught TH at Pinchot Cabin. We travelled U-Bar trail through Barbershop and Dane Canyons. My knees were very sore after the canyons. Water was plentiful at both canyon bottoms. Even with gps track loaded the canyon bottoms are where you'll drop your signal from the sattelites. This is where the time suck begins. Being a novice at the backpacking game we spent over an hour trying to find trails at these points. I did have a map and compass but, well, I guess I need more experience with wilderness navigation. There are some beautiful camp sites down in Dane Canyon however the wind was blowing cold through the canyon and judging by the spatches of deep snow drifts remaining it must stay fairly cold overnight, so we continued up and out of the Canyon until we came to another cabin or half of a cabin.There was a beautiful fresh water spring and although getting cool quickly it was sheltered from the wind. This is where we camped Saturday evening. The night was chilly. Next day hiked out and lost the trail again while on barbershop trail. Fortunately ran into a group of 4 hikers coming towards us in the opposite direction and they told us where we were. Decided due to my aching knees, blistered feet and cut hips I would finish the hike by going North on FR 139 and then veer left on FR 139A back to vehicle. Both very tired and sore at the end of this one. Would do it again only if I did not have a deadline or such a heavy pack. Probably will steer clear of canyons until I get into better shape.
Saw elk and deer and large squirrels on this hike. Heard coyotes from campsite too. Heard a lot of gun fire from hunters.
