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.

A quick loop to get some miles in before a long AZT hike. Started and finished early. Lots of hikers out but no fauna seen.

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.

A hike with the exiled Duke of Galapagos. He says the photos are deepfakes. :lol: Denny and I hiked the west half of Lost Goldmine trail last month so this was the follow up.
We started early and it was nice and cool. 30 minutes in and headlamps were not needed. The trail is easy to follow and there are nice saguaros along the way. It's good to get out with the Tortoise and kick up some dust

Andy was heading to Arch Canyon and I had never been so it was on. We started early and it was still cool outside. The trail was steeper and looser than we had anticipated so it took a bit more time.
There were only a few others out on the trail. The area was brown and not green like the desert around the valley right now. Some rain is needed.
We hiked above the Arch and got photos. We passed on the scramble down to the Arch to save time for hike number 2. On the way out we saw one border patrol officer but 3 border vehicles in the parking area.

An attempt at Mount Ajo but it was warming up so we settled for the ridge with some views. The hike up to Bull Pasture it straight forward but at the ridge there are a few trails. They all eventually get to the saddle before the the climb up to Ajo. Looking at the tracks there is a break in the ridge that seems less daunting than hiking up the side. It would be a fun climb on a cooler day.

A hike next to First Water road to the Horse Lot and main trailhead. Lots of stinknet on the north side. The burned out Jeep Cherokee has been hauled out. Some interesting prospect holes along the way and a few horse trails to follow. Just exploring.

Took a few days rest due to some sinus trouble. Thought it was a cold but it only lasted a few days.
I decided to hike out to the Red Tanks trail and look for the arch. I forgot to tell @LindaAnn and @trekkin_gecko to look for it last month when they were hiking the Super loop. :doh:
The morning was nice and it stayed cool with ample cloud cover. The trails are good but Coffee Flat and Red Tanks trails are getting overgrown east of Reeds Water. The creek was flowing and should still be with the recent bit of rain.
I missed a turn off and hiked up Randolph Canyon a bit before noticing an alcove I checked out a few years back. That works out because now ITh have a landmark for the turn off to a spring that's not on the map. This area would be better to access from Woodbury Trailhead but what's a few extra miles?
No fauna spotted with the cloud cover keeping the cold blooded ones from coming out. I did find some chemical packets used for testing copper content of the water near the confluence of Red Tanks & Randolph canyons. I filtered water out the creek down stream 5 days ago so I wondered if there were trace amount of bicinchoninic acid disodium salt in the water? :o
Once back on Red Tanks trail I located the arch, took a few photos and turned back. I had 9 miles to get back and was feeling tired so I didn't explore more. I saw a few hikers on the way back. I stayed in Randolph Canyon which is more open than the trail and took a rest near Reeds Water. A good day to get some miles in.

A stroll around lower Randolph Canyon to check out some ridges and climb up to some alcoves on loose terrain. The morning was nice with sun and cloud cover off and on. We checked out a route up to Musk Hog Canyon which will work for a future trip.

Saw 2 Gila Monsters along the way. Couldn't let Bruce, Linda and Kelly show me up on my home turf. :lol:
Located the petroglyph I tried to show Kelly and Linda last month. A fun day exploring.

I had never hiked to the Salt River through the Goldfields so I was in. Chris had the plan and the track so we just followed along. The horse trails are unnamed and there are several turns along the way so it made for some fun.

The morning started out nice and cool and we Made it to the Salt River before it warmed up. The return trip was a but warm but the breeze kept it from being hot. Brian and I cruised back the last few miles and waited for Chris.

It was nice hike for the Goldfields. The views of the Salt River and Saguaro Lake are nice.

I had not been up on Black Top Mesa in a while so I in. The early morning start was nice and the trail easy going. The climb up Bull Pass and then Black Top Mesa was more than I remember but a good test.

We poked around the top and looked an the various etching made over the years. Andy and I made a second attempt to find the other sunburst and even thought I knew where it should be (near Stone Mountain rock) I could not see it in the sunlight until it was viewed from the opposing angle.

We passed a few HAZards on the hike down and stopped for lunch near Black Mesa trail after which we got to climb up to Black Mesa. I poked around on Black Mesa and found a few sherds. The mine tailings in Black Mesa are still visible since the burn.

The hike back was uneventful with several hikers out on the trails. We finished up while it was still nice out. A good day on the trail.

I went to Idaho road to hike back and look at the east side of the connector route to Peak 3125. I hike in and only saw a 3 Jeeps driving the road. On the hike out I saw a few groups of retired kids hiking in.
The hike over the ridge looks easy enough. I may have to use it as a loop for a test run.

Took a stroll with the tortoise. The trail is relatively flat but we still accumulated 824 feet. The pace was moderate and we got passed up by an octogenarian with a wooden leg but I'm pretty sure she was doping. :lol: Good to get out on the trail while the tortoise works his way back to the big league. :o
Thanks for the hike Denny.

I thought about a long hike but it looked like rain. I got sprinkled on some but a long hike would have been okay. I chose to check out a route over the ridge that Denny and I had toyed with.

Yes, Denny the route is okay. There are two options. Hike over the ridge to the trail north of the saddle or take the ridge up toward peak 3125 and hike down the spur trail. I kinda did both.

I saw an alcove I didn't know about and found a nice hidden poppy field in the Goldfields? Yes, I had to hike up to the alcove and the poppies were around the bend. If the sun was out they would look glorious.

An interesting stroll in the Goldfields. That's as good as it gets for me.

An exploration hike in Tule & Whitlow Canyons. We climbed some hills, looked at some not so nice ruins and hiked over to the petroglyphs. The cloud cover kept it nice and cool.

Hoolie Bacon - Peters Trail Loop
Partners none no partners
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.
