Joe did this hike in 2001 and now it's getting a few followers. The views from Peak 4143 are great.
I hiked to road because I can. There was a black 4Runner that drove down and a few hunters on a can-am drove part way and parked.

I hiked out Hoolie Bacon trail and scared the cows down the trail. The trail is easy to follow and is used by the beeves. The trail is a little messed up by Tortilla Creek but okay again after that.

Once on Horse Ridge I hiked to the unmarked peak and went west to look around then I hiked back to peak 4143. Once on Peak 4143 I looked around got lured into the small canyon running north. The hike down was steep but ended up being worth it.

The drainage had water running, several pools, small falls and a turtle. The drainage ended by Little Hawk Spring which may just be the pool of water at the end. Interesting side trip that was easier than I though it may be.

From the spring area I followed what looked to be an old horse trail over to Peters trail. On Peters trail I saw a group of 8 hikers. They hiked the road too and were just doing an out and back.
A fun loop in the Supes.

I saw a place called Burro Basin on the map and I needed to go there. I was hiking up the Dutchman trail and I could see headlamp lights ahead. I hiked at a moderate pace and didn't seem to be catching them.

The trail going down to adjacent to Barkley Basin first light hit. The hikers ahead looked familiar. Sure enough it was Kelly & Linda. We were going the same way for a while so we caught on nothing important until I turned off for Burro Basin.

The side Canyon up to Burro Basin was open and easy. There was nothing really special found but a cool little waterfall and pool in the reed rock was a surprise. I should have kept going up the canyon but I veered off up to a cliff base to find nothing.

It was nice day in the supes and nice to hike with Kelly & Linda again for a bit. The little side canyon and it's tributaries may deserve a second look someday.

I had not hiked this loop in a while so when Chris told ne was hiking it I was in. The hike up Peralta to Fremont Saddle was the usual grind but it kept us warm in the early morning cool. There was some wind near the saddle but that came and went all day.
The trail is easy to follow but there is some overgrowth due to the wet fall. With the early start up Peralta we didn't see a lot other other hikers until we were back to the Cave trail. The temps stayed moderate all day and this made for a good workout.

A hike down to Fish creek to look around. Had to get stupid and climb up to some alcoves. Stumbled down ball bearing ridge to the creek floor. Ended up at Fish Creek Cave. There was water flowing in Fish Creek.
No real trail but the off trail wasn't bad unless you decide to climb up the slope above the creek.

A hike up the Reavis Gap trail to check out some boulders. Yep they are boulders with no markings. The climb up is always a chore. I took a side trip to some ruins since I was in the area. The hike down didn't seem as slick with some moisture in the ground. Plenty of water in Pine Creek if you wanted to filter. Walnut spring has water but the creek might be cleaner. The road is sandy but only used 2 wheel in the Bronco. Saw a few side by sides on the drive out.

11th Annual New Year's Day Peak Bag The eleventh annual but only my second. It turned out to be excellent weather for a memorable hike. It was cool with some light rain/drizzle and the fog/low clouds keep moving in and out keeping it interesting. A fun group of people out celebrating the new year with Champagne, cookies & chocolate covered strawberries. What's not to like.

A hike on some horse trails in the Goldfileds. The Goldfileds look good in green. The trails are not named and go every which way. A good place to explore and hike at random.

A hike with the Bridget while she heals. The Arboretum is a good place to see critters but we didn't catch any today. No too busy on a Monday.

A hike up Bluff Spring Mountain and down into Hidden Valley. We started early but came up a little short. The weather was nice. A bit humid early but cool and the clouds kept the sun away so it stayed cool all day.
The hike up Ely-Anderson is work but we stopped to enjoy the views of the surrounding mountains and Middle Canyon. The rock wall and the smelter cave are other points of interest. We located Pharoah rock on top and then went east for the route into Hidden Valley.
Jason is still favoring his ankle so he explored up top while Stephanie and I dropped down into catclaw heaven. We followed the wash on the way in. The wash is fairly open but the rock hopping and winding plain slowed the pace.
Beyond the dam the creek bed became bouldering. You get a workout (HAZercise) from this but we decided to turn back so Jason wouldn't be waiting too long. I think it opens up again before the waterfall but we couldn't see how far ahead that was.
The hike out was nice and seemed easy since we were no longer hiking up or scrambling off trail. A good hike with good people.

hiking in the light rain. :y: I had some time and wanted to get some hiking in. The trail was mostly empty. No turtles today but I've seen 3 out here in the recent past.

This was not on my list but Andy asked and I said sure I haven't been there in a long time. The road was good until it was horrible. Before Devil's Chasm TH and all the way to Pueblo Canyon it's rough.

The hike up is rocky and we missed a few turns on the way to Cold Spring Canyon. The final push up the side to the ruin is steep and loose as ever. Funny how I forget those things until I go back.

The hike into Pueblo canyon is overgrown a bit, lots of up and down and narrow. The hike was in the shade so that helped to cool things down. Jackson wasn't liking the trail so he stayed back while Andy and I hiked across to get a look. We took a short break and headed back. The trail down it always easier.

It was good to meet Jackson and hike with Andy again. Fun stuff down a bumpy road.

Hiked the eastern trail (single track) off Bulldog trailhead in the Goldfields. I wanted to get in a few miles and see where this trail went. There are several spur trails going north so it may be a good place to explore in the future.

I took a stroll up Peralta trail to Piper Camp and up a side canyon a little way. I didn't see anyone until after Fremont saddle on the return. The vegetation is encroaching the trail west of the Needle but other than that it's open with the usual loose rocks and powered dirt.
It was cool in the shade but warm in the sun on the climbs. The pass over to Willow Spring wasn't as open as I hoped but the slopes north or south would be an option if I had more ambition. :lol: The forest service guys at the trailhead mentioned recent big horn sightings but none were seen.

Wanted to check out Coffee Flat Canyon since I had not seen any trips up there. I took a nice ridgeline over and dropped in. It's narrow, then kind of cool for a bit, then spreads wide with grass, rocks, brush and washes mixed in. Looks like access to the eastern ridge is doable but I wanted to get out before it warmed up.
I saw one hiker as I got back to the trail. She looked like she had the eye of the gecko so I let her pass. We talked a little and I dropped back to not be a lurker. I generally keep a decent pace but she dropped out of view by Dutchman trail.
On Dutchman I picked it up to my get it done pace and by the time we were climbing up the last saddle she was in sight. I stayed back to avoid stalker status but was happy to realize I can still move out if I want to. : rambo :
Coffee Flat trail is a bit rocky at the start but doesn't compare to Y-bar. :lol: The off trail was nice until I stepped on the boulder that rolled on to my foot but I didn't have to chew off my leg so it's all good. Cool area that I will probably return to if we get a cold day sometime.

Denny had the plan and he drove. Bob led the way and bought lunch. I showed up. :lol:
I had hiked Little Four Peaks from the Needle Vista lot before but never the official route. When out there alone I hit the 1st 2 summits because the other two looked hard. Bob found the routes and they weren't too bad. Fun times but the hikes keep getting shorter. Next year Denny wants to hike to Phantom Ranch :o : rambo : I'm sure I could do if as long as I have a nap. :zzz:

A stroll up to the Base of the Needle and around some to what was there. We didn't find much of anything and not much activity on the Northeast side. We did spot a cairn but not sure if that was for Vance Bacon or not. Nice day on stuff rough off trail terrain.

Stephanie wanted to hike around battleship. I thought it would be interesting to see the water in La Barge Creek & Boulder Creek. When we got to the crossover saddle by Battleship..."I never hiked Battleship", "it's right here", "We can start and see what it's like". I really didn't have a choice. :lol:
We only saw 4 other hikers on Battleship and it's always a thrill. The views are nice, the weather was good and the water in the creeks is great. The trails are good, and there are berries and flowers to be found. Just another stroll in the Supes. :sweat: : rambo :

We started this hike with a we'll see but before the turn off for Willow Spring the rain hit. It rained hard for a little while then let up and repeated a few times. By the end it was nice out so an early start was probably not the right choice this time. A nice hike and nice to be out in the desert when it rains.
When I got home I realized I only took two photos. :doh: One of the deserted backpack and one of the low clouds. There's always next time. :)

The last part of AZT section 28 is done. I was worried about rain or wind moving in before we finished but that didn't happen. The morning was brisk but after a mile the gloves came off. The sun was out and the temperature was perfect. The southern part was a bit rocky but overall the trail was good.

The elevation was around 7500+- so the temps were great. It started out nice in the 50's and ended in the 60's. the wind did pick up at Baragman Park but the breeze was nice most of the trip.

It was nice hiking through the Ponderosa Pines and the single track trail had gentle slopes and even the rocky section was easy going for me. This is probably double the distance for my recent hikes but I felt good the enter time.

There were several birds along the way and many squirrels darting about. The black elk where everywhere but ran off as you approached. We passed two horse riders on the way back and that was about all the traffic for the day.
