An easy 20 miles if there is such a thing. The weather was nice and cool, the trail mostly clear of rocks and the grade was slight. Hiking through the pines was nice change.
We made good time on the hike out and started back about 12pm. I decided to see if I could make the return by 3pm and made it at 2:59pm. It's fun to stretch the legs once in a while.
Chris and Andy weren't far behind and we made it back to town before dark. There were some elk along the way by they didn't stay around. We only saw one biker and one hiker the entire day.

Carried more panels down the trail. Tried a new route to avoid the sun and the hills. More to be done.

A hike down First Water Creek to see what I could see. Easy hiking and a hole in the cliff. A few hikers on the way out.

I had never hiked Peralta Park trails before. We needed something new so the hike was on. The trails are easy and in good shape with little traffic. We saw a rattlesnake on the Serenity trail, several doves adn a few bunnies.
The hills provided some shade early and we looked at the old prospect hole. Not much to see but easy hiking away from the crowds. We took a detour to the old Carney Spring trailhead. There's a ditch and a berm (in addition to the fence) should deter the masses. Thanks for the hike Turtle.

A hike into Haunted Canyon to carry some more panels for the cabin. The cloud cover kept it cool. There were some sprinkles but no rain. We talked to one of the ranchers by the gate. He told us some stories about a 3rd cabin that was removed. I may have to look for any remnants from that cabin on a future trip.

I hiked out to Marsh Valley to look for some petroglyphs rumored to be in the area. The early morning was cool and the trail, although rocky, in decent condition. I passed an older couple backing and a younger couple with a dog on the way in.
There were bunnies and lizards everywhere but no snakes to be seen. I took a sandy side canyon then hiked up to a ridge but didn't find the large boulder I was looking for. It started to warm up on the hike out.
I saw the backpackers again coming up Bull Pass on my way down. They mentioned staying in Marsh Valley and said they carried extra water just in case. :app: It was warm but I was out before 11:30am.

Denny is usually good for a short hike but he tricked me. We ended up hiking 10 miles. I never hiked up the lower section of FR626 before. The grade is easy and the road smoother than I remember when I drove it about 10 years back.
The weather was nice and cool. We saw someone pull into the parking area as we hiked up. We saw Wade on our hike down. He was going to the top. Maybe next trip Denny will want to go to the summit.

A hike up and around Fish Creek & Fish Creek Hill. We explored some alcoves and poles. Saw two black-tailed rattlesnakes along the way. No trails used but the off trail was loose but I didn't fall.

A morning hike to get some miles before it warms up. Had not seen the Treasure Loop people in a while did the loop with some extra climbs. A good place to stroll.

Had planned on hiking AZT 25 with Chris & Brian but decided on the drive up just providing the shuttle and getting a good hike in would be better. I have a plan to hike up to Whiterock Mesa with a side trip to Polles Mesa some day so I may be back with some exploring to boot.
We made good time up to Payson and shuttled up to Pine. FR 1655 off Hardscrabble Road is on my onX Offroad App and rated for 4x4, SxS & ATV. We drove in to the power line where FR 1654 begins at 1.3 miles.
Chris had the route down the powerline and over to the AZT. The road was rocky but the trail is good. I found a Happy Birthday mylar balloon along the way and stopped at a fence about 6 miles in.
I turned back at the fence and some clouds moved in and the breeze picked up making fun of my thoughts it could be a warm hike. I kicked up a jack rabbit and moments later a raptor swooped down but came up empty. No Wild Kingdom scene for me.
I passed 2 quads on the drive out and hardscrabble road had several SUVs on it. Nice weekend trip.

A Hike with the Turtle to finish Jacobs Trail & Lost Goldmine trail. Denny and I had hiked all of Lost Goldmine trail so this was the final leg to connect First water road to Peralta Road. Nice weather and half the trail is nice under it's a bit rocky. Nice shade provided by the Ridgeline. Thanks Denny.

Got a late start but needed to take the FJ out. Drove to the Needle Vista lot and saw a familiar Xterra.
Chris did a longer loop but I saw near the horse lot. I saw a ranger at the horse lot who made sure I had water etc. The horse trails are in good shape and never too busy.

A quick out and back to survey the trail. The north half of Jacobs trail is in great shape. Probably could talk the turtle into a shuttle hike. Lots of shade morning off the ridgeline to the east.

A quick out and back on the Lost Goldmine trail before it warmed up. I can still get an easy 10 miles in early. If it cools down again I'll do some more interesting hikes.

Denny wanted to finish up the Lost Goldmine trail and I was in. I noticed on satellite view that houses occupy the old trail end so we knew an reroute would be likely. The gate with no the trespassing sign is by an empty lot about 150 feet from the road. I'm sure there will be a house there soon enough.
The trail is rocky and zig zags through the saguaros but the grade is easy. Cloudview road had lots of traffic. We think mostly from construction workers. We started early and finished before the heat. Nice to get a little hike in and probably retire this section that will be housing soon.

Early chatter referred to this as the Doll Baby death march but the weather cooperated and the climbs were moderate at times so there were no casualties. :lol: We go an early start around 6:35am and it was nice cool to start. The climbs started early and kept coming but the breeze really came through.
At one saddle we seemed pretty high up but we were only at 5,400 feet and eventually climbed to 6,100 feet. The views are nice and the ridges easy to hike. We did see two through hikers and that was it for the day.
We hiked our own pace and regrouped from time to time. The AZT sections are in good shape the descent down the Mazatzal Divide trail was a little overgrown and rocky. The hike went well considering the AEG and miles. My GPS threw a random point just to turn me around but then adjusted. My track actually skips the section I hiked over and back and over.
We finished up before dark and everyone was still standing so it's a win. : rambo :

A morning stroll to loosen up from a trip to circlestone. Denny took it easy on me. The morning was cooler than expected but that made for a nice hike.

S & J were going to Circlestone and W couldn't pass it up. :o The drive in FR449A wasn't too bad. The road is sandy but nothing requiring 4wd at the moment. It looks like a storm may roll through there and may change that.
We started before 8am and the temps were cool. There was plenty of shade on the way up Campaign trail and slight breeze. The trail is there for a while but the creek is a good option. One section beyond brushy spring is a catclaw fest so we knew to skip that leg up the west bank. I tried it last time out and paid the toll. : rambo :
The trip up Fireline trail is steep with one trick wash crossing that is easily missed on the way back. There is a tree to climb over near the creek but easy to follow otherwise. The rocks on the trail and the creek hiking did take a toll on the toes. Unfortunately Jason had to pull up early but Stephanie and I pressed on up the Circlestone. I took a few more photos this time thinking it may be a while before I'm back but I thought that last year too.
It was a but warm on the climb up Fireline and the way down Campaign Creek in the sun but not horrible. The breeze was cool giving relief along the way. I brought a filter but opted not to get extra water. The water from Brushy Spring back looked pretty good.
We made better time on the return and finished in the light. It was a nice day on a trail that was but could be again with some work. Nice to get out with S & j to kick up some dirt.

A morning stroll to beat the heat. I started at 6:30am and no headlamp was needed. The counterclockwise loop worked out well. I turned down Boulder Canyon trail and had shade almost to the Cavalry trail junction.
The Dutchman trail and Second Water trail are good. The vegetation along Boulder Canyon trail has rebounded and I did lose the trail a few times. It's easy to find again but once the brush gets higher it may be a challenge.
The water in Boulder Creek between Dutchman trail and Needle Canyon is clear and flowing with many deep pools. The water disappears farther north and then green pools reappear. If camping I'd choose the area near Needle Canyon. Shade in the morning and lots of clear water.
The loop was easier than I thought. I only used about 50 ounces and it was still cool when I finished up.
