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.

Held a 4 day backpack AZT trail maintenance event on my section of the AZT. Being the section steward managed to get a group of 12 so plenty of help to get the work done.

Friday morning we started from City Creek Trailhead at 8am and hiked up the 6 miles to the junction with the Red Hills 24A section of AZT. From there camp was about 3/4 mile northbound on the AZT and with all the rain recently we had flowing water at camp in the drainage.

Next morning it was time to get to work. One group headed for Brush Spring about 3.5 miles away to relocate the Brush Spring sign into the correct location. They also significantly improved an existing primitive route from the sign to the spring area clearing brush and tree fall from the path. End result is very wide obvious path to water from the AZT.

The rest of the group brushed the two miles from City Creek AZT junction northbound. Cleared lots of manzanita, scrub oak, gamble oak and some downed trees. We all met back at camp about 330 and called it a day. Fairly pleasant evening with lows in the upper 30's.

On Sunday one group cut several trees with a crosscut saw. One cut in particular was fairly complex with 22 inch diameter tree on a tricky slope. The others were more straight forward but still required crosscut.

Rest of the group continued the 2 miles of brushing and we managed to finish the entire section by end of day on Sunday. Very successfuly weekend on my section of AZT and the trail is in best shape it's ever been! Spent one more night at camp before hiking out on Monday and mexican food in Payson :y:

Huge thanks to all the volunteers for their time and hard work :D

Joined the AZT volunteer event on section 23A Mazatazal Divide. It's Roger Smith's section and we had a group of 10 starting from Peeley Trailhead. Road was in ok shape after all the rains but no washouts or anything like that.

Hiking from Peeley TH it's about 9 miles to Bear Spring our campspot and base camp for the event. Arrived in the early afternoon and went to get water after setting up camp. We had a rattlesnake at the spring but it never moved while we filtered water.

After a pleasant evening next morning it was time to work. We split up into three groups with one group cutting and clearing tree fall while the rest of us focused on brushing the areas 2 miles south of Bear Spring. We all met back at camp around 330 for another night at Bear Spring.

Next day I had to hike out and one other volunteer joined me. The rest of the group was staying another night and continuing tree clearing and brushing. My goal in addition to hiking out was to brush a section about 5 miles from the trailhead. Brushed the section for about 5 hours before hiking out about 3pm. Ran into several southbound AZT thru hikers while working and talked with them a bit. Arrived at the trailhead around 430 and then the long drive out from Peeley.

Nice weekend in the Mazatzal range with good temps...summer is over :y: Great to get a lot of work done on this section of AZT :D
