A Saturday morning hike to a little used area of the Santa Ritas in Coronado National Forest. 7.36 mile out and back along the Greaterville and Sawmill Trail. Plenty of water in Sawmill Canyon made for some fun playing with my Shutter Speed. Reached first patches of snow near Sawmill Springs where I turned around at approx. 6800 ft. The trail continues up to Flordia Saddle and one can also continue on to Mt. Wrightson from here.

Note that there was quite a bit of immigrant signs along the Greaterville trail and the looks of a make-shift camp along the trail as well. Also what appeared to be mountain lion sign/scat along with a dead deer near the trail as well. Made for some interesting surroundings to say the least.
