We borrowed the dog this morning for a nice walk at Thunderbird Conservation area. He enjoyed it, much more than he would've enjoyed the mountain we hiked yesterday by Lake Pleasant. ( Actually he probably would've liked it, but stress to have him pull humans up and down steep loose volcanic rock on the mountain.) We hiked up the summit and then took a loop around. If I had more time I would've liked check out more of the trails here including the cute walkway above 59th ave. I didn't mind the abundance of people because I had my coffee. But I did like all the cute dogs on the trail. The city views and surrounding mountains are nice. Smoggy. Good to get out for some quick urban hiking and happy to check out a new area with trail options.

Dog sitting stuff brought me over to west side of town for a nice change and afforded me opportunity to visit some places I wouldn't normally go to. Early afternoon start so went for short summit hike to be followed directly with some food and drinks at Lake Pleasant. Parked just across from the Marina at the junction of 87th avenue and W. Saddle mountain and made our way cross country toward the peak meandering through cactus and evidence of burros. Going up and down the mountain was very slow with calculated steps over bushes and rocks/boulders. At the bottom was very relieved to no longer watch every deliberate step and could walk freely. Also the road was tempting us so we beelined in that immediate direction. There was a barbed wire fence had to cross over and then again to get back to the car.
Then we paid 7$ to park inside marina and walk over to Dillons for food and beer.

Jackie, Zooey and I spent some time up north recently. Leaving town on Wednesday after work with a stoppover in Flagstaff for some food and beer. Then on Thursday we took our time and enjoyed the drive and a small detour to Lee's Ferry. We slept in my car at the trailhead so we could get any early start and really take our time and enjoy the area.

The trail is well defined and meanders easily through a wide canyon flanked by tall, aromatic vegetation in fall bloom. Eventually the canyon walls begin to narrow a bit but still remains wide with spectacular views. I'm walking briskly and failing to notice the rock art on the walls that we pass, but Jackie is much more keen to notice the rock art quickly and we stop. Then I'm scanning the rock and still struggling to find what she is pointing at lol.

Eventually the trail crosses the wash and leads us across to Table Rock where we take a lunch and extended break to explore more around this area before walking back to the car. I wish I had walked up to check out the spring and make sure it was still running, but we didn't make it over in that direction. We only passed two other groups heading out on our way back. By this time its midday and the nice early morning overcast sky has given way to a very warm direct sun. I can't imagine how this area heats up in the summer. This is such a spectacular area that I'm so happy to finally visit and consider the possibility of return visits.

Departed Phoenix just after 6am for a mid morning start to a perfect long mountain day. We started from Pumpkin Trailhead and did Connector Trail -> Bull Basin -> Pumpkin

Decent road conditions to trailhead. 193 just off Hwy 180 was pretty rutted with deeeep holes which otheriwse would've been a nice gravel road I spent a few miles dodging these treacherous potholes. Turning onto 171 was a relief and smooth ride to the Pumpkin Trailhead.

The connector trail is a real pumpkin. Following the contours of the mountain and traversing burned up areas and the trail is faint and difficult to follow.( What trail? lol.) We found ourselves off trail a couple times thank you Routescout for keeping us on track. Finally getting onto Bull Basin was a bit of a relief to be in forested areas again. It starts to slowly gain elevation. Beautiful stretch through perfect glowing yellow aspen forest. Then near the top a bit of fallen trees to navigate, but not bad. Finally toping out and enjoying some summit beers and snacks before descending on Pumpkin trail. Very steep descent dropping so much gain in a few short miles. Just a bit more of route finding over fallen trees, but the last couple miles were scenic and very easy to follow. Ok the whole loop was scenic and pretty, but I'm so happily back at the truck for more beers and finding a location to hunker down for the night :)

Bradshaws camping with friends for a friend's bday. I forgot how rough the road gets after passing Crown King. We had a few campsites together at Hazlett Hallow campground. I get restless sitting around camp for hours so around mid afternoon I walked up the road to Horsethief Basin. I walked back to camp just in time as they were getting ready to visit the lake, so I got in the back of a truck and went back to the lake (basin). :)

Rain in the forecast so I wanted to go hiking in the Superstitions! It was also my first time checking out Coffee Flats from Peralta. Our views were obscured by mist and low hanging clouds but we could still appreciate how green everything was. The trail meanders easily through the desert landscape. Eventually we were admiring the views of Buzzards Roost just before descending into Reeds water. We set our sights to get to Reeds Water and turn around. We checked out the windmill and the surrounding area. The giant saguaro towered over Erik and the dogs. Our time near Reeds water was brief as it was raining on us and there was no dry place for us to escape, so we turned around to go back the way we came. It rained on us for most of the day. Barks canyon was a dry crossing when we started, but it was a gusher on the way out. Erik and I walked upstream a bit in order to find the least treacherous crossing. A significant change in the course of a few hours.

Reeds water could be a great spot a future backpacking trip with the dogs, although the creaking sounds from windmill were unsettling enough during our brief visit.
Finally, Peralta road is in fact a muddy mess when it rains. On our way out we passed 1 truck getting a tow.

water 1 out of 5water 2 out of 5water less than maxwater less than max Reeds Water 26-50% full 26-50% full
Water deep down in the well under the windmill. There is a cup with a string attached. (assuming that the string is long enough to reach the water. Extra paracord would be helpful just in case)

Mazzies have been on my short list radar lately and after a month of crowded places ( Western supes and snowbowl. :sk: )

We had been here previously last spring, but it was too hot for our German shepherd so we turned around well before getting to the creek.

Abundant water flowing – ideal this time for our two hiking shepherds. The only other people we saw were close to the trailhead. Once we veered off onto Deer Creek we were in blissful, wilderness solitude.
After a couple of very easy miles above the creek the trail dips down again to the densely vegetated creek bed. A modest double cascade was the highlight of the hike (along with watching two happy dogs playing in water and generally never being chill while we ate our hiking snacks.) After a few creek crossings, I reluctantly decided to turn around so that we could get back to the car before dark….
Although we got a late morning start, we both appreciated the late afternoon colors illuminating the trail as we made our way back to the car, even though I would have enjoyed more miles and more exploring. I always want more time in the Mazatzals.

We were in Flagstaff for a ski trip and our lift passes were for the next two days so I was happy to have a chill day and do some hiking. The road up to snowbowl was gridlocked, so we turned on Schultz Pass, thus avoiding the traffic.

The snow was patchy, but it was still work, so after a few miles in we connected to the road and followed it back to the trailhead. The trailhead was dominated by families of sledding children. It was my first time in this area and I enjoyed it enough to hope for a return trip someday.

The main parking lot was full at 8:30 am. Happily, once we were a mile away from the trailhead we didn’t see anyone else until the junction with Dutchmen 104. From the elevation gained on Bluff Springs trail I enjoy looking down into Peralta and seeing the zoo of people.
I had intended to check out Red Tanks or Coffee flats for a few extra miles early on in the day , but I messed up and started the loop from Bluff Springs instead of the Dutchmen trail. In retrospect it is ideal to get cardiac hill out of the way in the beginning and making the return on the Dutchmen trail is much nicer on the knees.

Barks canyon had tons of water from recent rains. The dogs also enjoyed the novelty of water in the desert and got in.

At the trail junction I decided to check on Bluff Springs and take a break. It’s a nice trickle into a bucket. The seating options there are less then accommodating so we moved over to an open flat area with a tree and used fire ring and watched other hikers approaching the trail junction while the dogs ran in circles around us because they don’t want to take breaks and look at us as weak for sitting down at this point lol.

The hike back is very quick, but it got a little warm and the dogs were not as frisky as earlier in the hike. Its nice to hike in the supes and I appreciate this easy loop. We capped a great day with some beers at AZ Wilderness.

Liz and I were in town for a long weekend and wanted to get some hike-y exercise. We had a few few hours before afternoon commitments so this hike is a great option. Nice view points along the way and incredible scenery in all directions from the top- the town, the meandering Animas and San Juans mountains in the distance. Lovely hike :)

I wanted to get out of PHX and hike someplace cooler with water so I suggested Oak Creek to John and he agreed. We departed 6:30 on Saturday Morning. Around 8:30 we drove past the entrance to slide park and we were both shocked at the number of cars waiting to enter this early in the day --They had spilled over past the parking and a half a mile long or so up the road. The line was stupid long!

I had never been to Oak Creek before and it was a divinely scenic canyon. The lush canyon surrounded by the tall cocoino sandstone walls is such a welcome contrast to summer in Phoenix. After a few miles in we stopped on a ledge that overlooked the creek below and amused ourselves watching casual hikers crossing the creek while attempting to keep their feet dry. Getting wet was so refreshing and the best part ~( in my opinion anyways! )

Another mile or so the canyon walls narrowed and sharply curved. Many hikers gathered and lingered at this point as this is generally a turnaround spot- probably related to the sign indicating that the maintained trail ends here. It was still early in the day and the thought of heading back to PHX and oppressive heat is unappealing so John and I pushed further up the canyon for another hour or so. It was so beautiful I was happy to keep exploring. In my opinion the views on this stretch were some of the most interesting and scenic. We eventually found a nice flat spot where we could take lunch before commencing the return trip. No too long after turning around we noticed the sky was getting dark. Eventually the clouds obscured the sun and we finished the hike in light rain.

Really pleasant day hiking thanks to beautiful aspen groves and mountain views :)

On the way to our destination down the 180 away from flagstaff we saw signs for road closures, but luckily we were able to make it to our trailhead without issue. Bearjaw trail had a few deadfall barricades to maneuver and I had to take a few breathers hiking up but it just allowed me time to admire the aspen filled views. At the connection with waterline trail we stopped for some snacks and from there it was a couple miles of easy strolling save for some more deadfall to navigate. We stopped to admire the views of Lockett meadow and we could see how the horizon had become hazy due to the wildfire. As we neared Inner Basin it was obvious as we saw quite a few more groups of people headed up to higher elevation. I have a thing for high mountains with snow and obvious tree lines so I took my time taking photos at Inner basin before we cut over to Bear Jaw Spring for lunch. The hike back was quick and uneventful though it’s getting toasty now so it was a relief to be back at the trailhead. Otherwise, a very beautiful day on the mountain !

We assembled a large group of 7 humans and almost as many dogs for an enjoyable water hike!

I had been on the Point Trail years ago and I had completely forgotten how steep it is. The momentum going downhill is difficult for a clumsy hiker like me so I treaded carefully. Once we were all down our group stopped and admired the weeping wall and then we all made our further way downstream. Along the way people and dogs in our group plopped down and relaxed at certain points. Matt, John and I ventured further upstream. And Liz’s dog decided to come with us, either from a fear of missing out or because her DNA compels her to herd people. On the way back we collected our group again and relaxed at a rocky beach below the point trail. Refreshments were had. Before heading back to camp a few of us ventured upstream for a bit before making the hike out.

*~* Most idyllic illustrations of paradise include ample water – probably inspired by someplace similar to WCC. I definitely want to spend more time down here exploring.

This was a beautiful day in the high country. I think Barbershop canyon must be among the most beautiful places I've visited on the rim. Ample water and so much electric green vegetation- such a lush canyon. We hiked out of the canyon and took our lunch at Dane Spring. The day was getting hotter and it was pretty hot in direct sunlight which made me feel really lethargic. Once we got back to the car we relaxed a bit before driving back down to the valley.

We set our sights on this one since its the highest peak in the Huachucas. The trail starts off with exposed high dessert so we took a few breathers in the shade when we could find it. Eventually the desert trail gives way to pine trees and even some aspen. At one point we saw a hang glider gliding overhead which was pretty neat. We hit the summit without having seen another person and enjoyed the views- Huachuca range on one side and Mexico on the other. After I enjoyed a summit beer and the photo ops we started our descent. Passed a few people on the hike down and otherwise enjoyed an uneventful hike. The hike down was so quick and mindless I could have jogged it with proper trainers. Instead I occupied my time coming up with ideas for things to brew. Headphones would have been nice otherwise.

I thought this was a decent hike. Pretty easy miles for a great summit views if you are into that sort of thing :D. Sometimes mindless easy miles feel pretty good ~^^

This was our first planned trip for Huachuca weekend. This is a beautiful scenic hike.

We saw some large turkeys near the beginning of our trail and we passed a few groups of hikers in the begging, but it thins out considerably the further you go in. As we were making our way up the trail John locked eyes with a bear. We hiked a bit more and made sure to make our presence known. " Bear. HUMANS HERE" Etc.

We didn't make it too much further after this due to time constraints.

Before heading out we spoke to the women working in the Nature Conservancy gift shop. She mentioned that it is not uncommon to see bear on the trail.

This is a neat area and memorable hike :)

Nice weekend to chill and drink on the rim! It was nice to see everyone, new and old :D. Liz's dog overcame her disdain of water in order to rescue ALL THE STICKS we through in the lake. Kyle's dog Lilly was nowhere to be found during this time. Thanks Liz for sharing your tasty mead :app:

Great weather today for this hike with Liz and her dog. Not too long into the hike we passed a snake sunning himself on the side of the trail. It was actually really alarming because I missed it and casually walked past him, but it caught Liz's eye and I heard her adrenaline induced reaction from our close encounter. (Trail was really narrow so we walked very close to the sleepy serpent)

Great day overall. Cloud cover made the temps really nice and we didnt see anymore snakes!

Happy to finally get to check out Haunted Canyon. It was pretty warm so it was delightful to put more miles in the Supes before it gets too hot :(
We just did an easy out and back to check out Tony's Cabin. The trail was lush and there is lots of water in the creek. Unfortunately there was lots of poison ivy ( 9L kryptonite). Kyle and I are able to walk through poison ivy ( good genes), but John has to find detours to avoid contact.

As we approached the cabin John wanted to check out some campsites, and lucky we did as we came upon a fire that some backpackers had neglected to put out.

It was another good day in the Supes for me~. Thanks John and Kyle for the trip!

 Sidewalk 5.6TopropeG
The first time I've touched rock outside in two years! I had just planned to go and enjoy being outdoors in a beautiful canyon,but once I got on the wall it was easy to climb again despite neglecting it for two years or so. Sully's Canyon is a great place with lots of moderate and fun crack climbs.

Holly was our awesome ropegun who has only been leading on trad a few times. We started off by warming up on Sidewalk (a 5.6) Then we moved further down the canyon and sadly I'm not able to remember the names of the routes, but they ranged from a 5.5 to 5.10.

After a fun day of Climbing we said goodbye to Holly and Tyler who were camping another night and Liz and I drove back up to PHX since we had some fun stuff planned the next day in town. Really happy to have joined Liz on this one :D
