This was our first hike of this season. As not too many people are in shape, our hike leader starts out with a fairly easy hike. The planned hike starts in the parking lot and uses a combination of trails to hike a loop that was about a total of 5 miles. During the hike we saw one tarantula that was on the trail, and a couple of deer.

There were some trees with leaves starting to turn to yellow but now true color change just yet.

This loop is done using three different trails, Yeager Cabin #533, Little Yeager #111, and Yeager Canyon #28. Elevation change is approx. 6000' to 7150' and is best done hiking it clockwise which takes you up the steepest portion of the trail first. This trail will afford some magnificent views of Chino Valley, Granite Mt., and the northern Bradshaw Mt's. Vegetation will very depending on where we are but will be a mix of brush, agave, pinyon pines, junipers, ponderosa pine, and oak. Some parts of the trail are fairly rocky. Before you start back down the trail to your starting point there are some good places to stop and eat lunch that afford some magnificent views of Prescott valley.

This trail starts at the mouth of Salida Gulch and follows the creek bed, loops around to Lynx Lake and back to the parking area. As you hike the upper portions of the trail it affords some nice overlooks of the surrounding countryside. We may see some petroglyphs.

You start out in desert scrub and then enter the Pinon pines and Juniper of the Wilderness. The trail climbs steadily along the Barnhardt Canyon offering great views of the canyon below. Around 2.5 miles you come to a seasonal cascading waterfall tucked into the rock walls. We also passed through some stands on maple trees that were going through there fall color change.

This trail starts off with a 200 foot drop into Sycamore Canyon and then continues upstream at an easy grade. We will cross the stream a few times as we proceed up the red rock canyon. Then retrace your steps back and the final climb back out of the canyon.

This hike is more like follow the dots spay painted onto the rocks which marks the trial. The trail wind up and down and back and forth through the huge boulders nest to Willow lake. This is a great hike for kids and dogs alike and not to awfully strenuous for the adults. Look out for the face rock for a good photo opt.
