Having never hiked Granite Mountain before when 9L suggested it I was very interested. The weather was generally nice for the hike but the wind really picked up in the afternoon. And when we were on the Granite summit the winds were unfortuantely blasting. Still a nice summit with great views all around and we found some wind shelter to enjoy a lunch/snack.

After the summit we made our way back down the same route which is a boulder scramble in sections to get back on the main trail. Once on main trail we followed that to the Little Granite Mountain Loop trail and followed that around the 5 or so miles back to the original trail.

As Chumley mentioned before we reached the original trail we hiked the Clark Spring Trail which was great trail with no fire damaged forest. We took our last break on the section of trail which was fantastic! Great hike all around and finally got to hike Granite Mountain.

Headed out Davenport Wash Trail in the Mazatzal from Barnhardt Trailhead to do more trail maintenance. We had dropped a water cache of 8.5 gallons two weeks prior at the camp site. This worked out well since we didn't have to waste time hauling water and could focus on trail work.

Our group of 4 started hiking about 8am from Barnhardt and up to Chilson Camp where we had lunch. Then continued down Davenport to South Fork of Deadman Creek. Took an extended break at the creek and enjoyed the nice creek and abundant water. Stayed there until about 430 to beat the heat before climbing out and up the 1.75 miles to the camp site. Arrived at the campsite and setup for the next 3 days. Checked the water cache and everything was good there.

After good night of rest next morning we headed out westbound on Davenport Trail to start work where I left off from last time. The goal was to clear trail all the way to Club Ranch site just under 2 miles away. We made good progress on the first day and cleared trail about 1 mile nearing Red Rock Spring before heading back to camp.

Another night at camp and next day we continued clearing down to Red Rock Spring which did have water. There was no water where the trail crossed but upstream about 100 feet there were some good pools and flow. The actual spring is about two tenths of a mile upstream from the trail crossing. After a break we continued working clearing trail passed Red Rock Spring and towards Club Ranch.

In the afternoon about 230 we finally reached Club Ranch clearing the last 1/2 mile of trail. Great water at Club Ranch Spring and we took another extended break to avoid the afternoon heat. We tanked up on some more water and about 430 headed back to camp.

Back at camp spent another pleasant night relaxing before the long hike out next day. Next morning everyone packed up and started hiking back reaching South Fork Deadman Creek first. Stopped for a snack, rest and water refill. Then started up the hill out of the creek which is about 2.4 miles and 1300 feet AEG back to Chilson Camp. Made it to Chilson in early afternoon and took another break.

Then just finished up with the last 7.2 miles back out to Barnhardt TH. Really happy with the work we were able to get done and reaching the goal of clearing trail all the way to Club Ranch. Davenport Wash Trail is now effectively cleared of impassable sections from Horsehose Dam all the way to Chilson Camp. However, it's still a rough back country trail and not AZT quality with some trouble spots that we hope to improve in the not too distant future.

We had an upcoming trail maintenance event on Davenport Trail in 2 weeks. I was a little concerned about the water situation and wanted to setup a water cache. So Kathy and I hiked into Chilson Camp from Barnhardt TH fairly early and upon arrival setup camp at Chislon and had some lunch.

After lunch we grabbed our relatively empty packs and some collapsible water containers and hiked westbound on Davenport Trail down to the South Fork of Deadmans Creek. As expected SF Deadman was flowing nicely with great water. We took a good break and then I began filling up the water containers for total of 8.5 gallon capacity.

With full containers (35 lbs in each pack) we hiked the 1.75 miles and about 500 plus feet AEG up the trail to the upcoming event camp spot that I selected from previous trail work. Once there it was about 430 and we pretty spent from the effort but we still had to hike all the way back to Chilson. I dropped the water cache and secured it in a tarp and then we started the 4.6 miles back to Chilson.

Even though Davenport is a trail it's still backcountry quality and not like the AZT so it took awhile to hike back. Also, dropping into SF Deadman creek we had a 1300 foot climb back up to Chilson Camp. Safe to say it took awhile and we did not arrive back at Chilson until 8pm and hiked the last hour by headlamp. We were also completely spent so that slowed us down as well.

Fortunately, John 9L had hiked in to join us for the camping part and he had everything setup, camp fire included at Chilson. Was very nice just to walk into camp and sitdown around the camp fire :D

After nice night in camp the next day we hiked out together out to Barnhardt TH arriving about 130. Tough trip but was very happy to get the water cache in the right place!!

Joined Chumley and 9L for a snow hike in Bear Canyon and Fred Haught. Normally we would not be up there this time of year with deeper snow but with the abnormal winter the hike worked out well. Followed the AZT up to the rim from Washington Park before heading over to upper Bear Canyon.

Encounted the expected snow once in the canyon. The snow was not super deep but enough for wet feet. We also had lots of crossing so dry shoes was not an option. We continued down Bear Canyon before exiting and making our way over to Fred Haught Trail.

Once on Fred Haught we dropped into the canyon where we had some wet crossings and really nice flow in the creek. Took a lunch break at a cool camp spot at the confluence of Fred Haught and General Springs. After lunch we junctioned with the AZT and followed that back to the rim.

Dropped back down off the rim and followed the AZT back to Washington Park. Hiking in the snow wasn't easy but it was cool to see all the drainages blasting with tons of water :D

On our way to Mammoth Lakes we stopped by Joshua Tree NP. We wanted to do a hike without the tourist traffic so we picked Quail Mountain which also happens to be the high point in the park. Starting from Hidden Valley Nature TH it was crowded as expected. However, once we started out on trail and then an old two track for the first mile or so we didn't see anyone.

Eventually the off trail starts about 1.5 miles into the hike but it's easy off trail across a relatviely flat valley for another 1.5 miles before reaching foothills of Quail Mountain. We then traversed a couple of hills and drainages to reach the start of the final ridgeline. We followed the ridgeline up the majority of the AEG to the summit. We even picked up a use trail halfway up the ridgeline that made things easier on the final ascent.

Arriving on the summit there were 3 people there already there and would be the only ones we would see all day until the TH. Chatted with them for a bit before they headed down. Had a good break on top with lucnh and views.

After the lunch break we made our way back the same way. I made one small route change on the way back but it was pretty close the same route. Overall a pleasant hike and good to get the high point and a backcountry experience in such a popular national park.

Joined Chumley and 9L for the Y Bar, Matazatzal Summit and out Barnhardt Trail loop. Good temps even a little on the warm side for December but overall good conditions. Up Y Bar and the ankle rollers galore before reaching the saddle and off trail portion of the hike.

The off trail is a fun scramble up the east side of Mazatzal Peak. Lots of rock cliff bands to negotiate and great views as we ascended. Eventually hit the summit and took a nice lunch break before starting the descent.

The descent starts easy enough before being funneled into a drainage. Lots of fun rock srambling in this section and started seeing pools of water and then some light flow. Some of the pools were fairly large as we got lower. We made it through the drainage and to where Barnhardt crosses.

Back on trail it's an easy cruise back to Barnhardt Trailhead. Nice hike that I like to do every 3 years or so.

Colder at the start with 25 and breezy. We had about 4 to 5 inches of snow overnight so the trails were a bit more difficult...kind of like running in sand. Good run despite the more difficult terrain.

Another trail run at Highland Forest. Little colder this morning about 31 at the start with light snow but heavier than yesterday. Nice run once I got started and warmed up.

In New York visting family. Highland Forest is a great place to trail run....the ski trails are well maintained and perfect for trail running when not covered in snow. Temp of 34 at the start and light snow during the run. Not bad once I warmed up.

We joined 9L, Chumley and Ryan to hike Ash Canyon for color and then a run up Bassett Peak. The color was not as spectacular as years past but the upper canyon was definitely the best foliage dispaly. Ran into fellow Hazers 00blackout and DesertNymph and chatted with them for a bit. There was the usual crowd in the canyon for the fall color but it dispered over the course of the hike.

After taking our time in Ash Canyon we regrouped at the upper spring to have a snack before the final ascent to Bassett Peak. Hike up to the peak is totally diffent hike than the canyon; however very cool for it's own reasons. Made it to the summit about 1pm and took another good break to take in the views and some good converstation with the group.

Then it was back down the same way. Not too many pictures on the way down with the fading light muting out some of the scenery and colors. Reached the trailhead about 5pm. Unfortunately we could't stay another night with the group and had to drive back to Phoenix that night but still worth the trip!

Hiked into the Mazatzal Divide Trail Friday afternoon from Barnhardt and camped at Chilson Camp. When we arrived there were a couple of hunters already camped at Chilson and we shared the camp fire with them for the night.

After pleasant night and morning we gathered our day hike gear with the goal of doing a recon of the Mazatzal AZT section 23C. We have a new trail steward for the section Samuel and spent the day hike evaluating the 5 mile section from Barnhardt AZT junction northbound to Rocky Ridge. Along the way we checked what work needed to be done for the next trail event. Fortunately the section is in pretty good shape but like any trail there is always work to be done.

Also checked out Chilson Spring and Hopi Spring to see the condition of the relavtively new spring boxes. Of course with all the rain in October that ensured both were pretty full. The Hopi Spring box feeder pipe had been cleared and modified a bit in past year so the flow was much better than previously.

After completing the evaluation we headed back to Chilson. Contemplated staying another night but wanted to get some other stuff done back in town so packed up and hiked out. Arrived at the trailhead just before dark.
