| partners | | linda and i have looked at a few options in the goldfields
originally got this idea from @hikerdw, and did a variation of it with @tibber and again with @johnlp
it's very scenic and starts from a different trailhead than our last foray into the goldfields
we met up at the horse trails trailhead near milepost 203
we took willow connector, frankie goes to hollywood and cottonwood wash to horse with no name
we were on this going the opposite direction on our last hike
it's one of the prettiest trails in the goldfields
saw our first snake along here, a very small diamondback curled up on the trail
continued until it looped back east and took a short break on a rock outcropping
saw a good sized gopher snake and a smaller patchnose snake
followed the trail east past the cracked rock, the rock tunnel and a beautiful stand of saguaros
back to cottonwood wash, linda showed me a rock alcove that sometimes has a waterfall
picked up the anniversary arch loop, dropped into rough n ready canyon and returned to the trailhead
saw no one all day
could see several other trails that looked interesting
it's been fun to revisit some of my earlier hikes and actually know what trails we were on
would like to know my way around better out there
temps were fine with a good breeze and some high clouds
fun, scenic hike
thanks linda  |
