| no partners | | This is a beautiful hike -- you should bring water shoes so you can cross creek -- it was fairly high on 9/16 -- our shorts were wet half way up the pant leg and rocks were very slippery. We use hiking poles so that helped keep us upright. Also we went just a little further upstream to cross than where cairn was, for what we thought was a little better crossing place water wasn't running quite as swiftly.
The hike though mostly uphill is fairly gradual slope - and was rocky but not real bad. Where we stopped (point on trail where we could see into side canyon)was at
GPS reading N 34o.53.543 W 111o.42.820' Elevation 5074. |

| no partners | | We, my husband Jack & I, do this hike as a loop Secret Cyn #121 and connect to Bear Sign #59 via David Miller #164.
We park at the Bear Sign/Dry Creek trailhead walk back down FR 152 to the Secret Canyon Trail Head and then our car is at the end of the Bear Sign segment. A number of people start at Bear Sign and go the opposite direction but we like to hike the hardest part first while it is cooler and then do shady section last to beat the heat. This is a beautiful hike. |
