I went back to Skull Mesa on Sunday. I took the shorter approach to the Mesa this time and then descended off of the western slopes of the mesa towards the Chalk Canyon area and the Cave Creek Trail. A little steep near the top, but manageable. A light flow in Cave Creek. A dry crossing is possible with some light rock hopping. I did not see anyone all day until I got back to within about a mile of the trailhead. The trailhead seemed quiet for a Sunday, maybe the five dollar entry fee is scaring people away.

It’s been a long time since I have been up on Skull Mesa, (December 15, 2014 to be exact). The last time I did it was during a backpack out there with the dog. I think the last visit felt like less of a slog than today. The trails were in excellent shape all the way to the mesa. We walked around some on top and explored the area a little more thoroughly than the last time I had been up there. After nearly two miles of walking around on the mesa, we headed back down and returned the way we hiked in. I enjoyed getting out to stretch my legs some, after being cooped up for a bit, but I think I will try the more direct route up Mariposa Hill next time. A nice light flow in Cave Creek. Dry crossings were possible with rock hopping.

We did a clockwise variation of this loop with some exploring along the way for a nice little Thanksgiving overnight backpack.

We hiked in the Bluff Springs Trail and then camped at the nice site near Oak Spring and then did some exploring towards the Charlebois Spring area on day one. On the second day we did some off trail exploring along the Red Tanks Trail before starting our hike back to the car. We spent most of the day on the hike out, but that included extended breaks at several of the watering holes on the way out. All of the major drainages we encountered were flowing and most of the secondary drainages were still trickling water from the most recent precipitation event. We hardly saw anyone over the two days. A couple groups of hikers/backpackers each day. It’s tough to beat the western Supes as an easy overnight destination this time of year and with these current conditions. An excellent backpack on all accounts and in one of my favorite areas in the Supes.

Terrapin Trail #234
Partners none no partners
A nice day to brave the Peralta Trailhead on a Sunday. There is a nice amount of water draining out of those mountains. We hiked up the Bluff Spring Trail and then continued down the Terrapin Trail for a few miles before turning around and returning the way we hiked in.

There were not very many cars at the trailhead when we arrived rather lately around 8:30 a.m. We passed a few people early on, but only saw a handful of hikers after the first few miles and not many on the return. We finished to a partially full lot on a Sunday, which was a nice relief. The Bluff Springs Trail is in pretty good shape. A trail crew was working on the trail near the beginning and doing a good job at cleaning up some of the erosion and use damage the early stretches of the trail are known for. The Terrapin Trail was a little soggy and overgrown, but I was happy to see one of my favorite sets of ephemeral falls out there flowing nicely. After a chilly break at the falls, we returned the way we hiked in. An excellent day in the western Superstitions on all fronts.

Agua Fria River via Badger

After work dog walk. The area got a lot of rain. Badger Springs Wash was flowing harder than the Agua Fria. It was fun hiking along and in the flowing wash. The water level dropped a noticeable amount during our short hike to the river and back. I would guess it was running about twice as strong at some point before we got there. The rain and some thunder and lightning were picking up again as we finished.

My girlfriend and I are half way through a little four day trip to Sedona, so I am hiking and seeing more of this area than I ever have before. This was a new trail for me and I generally thought it was great. It was a nice little, engaging, steep climb to the saddle and there were some nice colors among some younger trees along the way. The colors got a little better after the saddle and the trail more tame. We hiked to the first spot we could see the arch from and then turned around. We returned the way we hiked in and were grateful for a few wispy clouds that provided us with some shade on our descent.

A beautiful day to hike the fork. A lot of people on the trail, but it was a bearable crowd and they were there for a reason. There is some pretty stunning scenery along the West Fork of Oak Creek Right now. We hiked a little past the end of the formal trail and I was pretty impressed. It was cool in the shade all day and the sun felt great when you were in it, especially after that icy wade at the end of the trail. A perfect fall day and I do not think the dogs could have been any happier.

I hiked the Memorial Trail and completed some site steward work. The trail is in excellent shape and the trail and memorial is well done. I found it to be a moving experience to hike the trail. We were the first to arrive at the trailhead, but it was full when we got back.

The trail is in great shape starting from the Seven Springs TH. We hiked in four miles to play at some swim holes and I completed a little site steward work too. We ran into a group of Boy Scouts setting up camp on the way out. The campground was a zoo. The hiking was excellent and it appears that the trail has received some semi recent work, in spite of the signs of the recent heavy rains that were also visible along the trail. Cave Creek had a nice medium flow. We were happy to have hit the trail before the cows have taken it over for the winter again. Excellent hiking temps, 45 degrees when we started 73 when we finished.

We got mudded out on the way to Peeley, and Deer Creek was nearly boring us to death, so we turned around and tried the ruins in Gisela along with a potential waterfall. The Tonto nearly had other plans for us, but we got across with a little effort.

The waterfall in Cocomunga was not flowing and I took us up the wrong hill to start off, due to having not read the description page and just trying to wing it. But we got on track shortly after that. Luckily, the wrong hill led to uncovering what was most likely the habitation site related to the hilltop enclosure and main attraction. Although, I found the “wrong” site more interesting to walk through due to the abundance of surface artifacts vs the sterile nature of the most likely ceremonial enclosure.

The dogs had a blast and the temps were perfect. A thick cloud hung over us and most of the valley for the entire hike. We started to get a light drizzle on the hike out and it was sprinkling a little more consistently on the drive out. I would say the river was probably running just about as fast as one would want to ford on foot.

Great fall colors and a great hike. This was my first time hiking the Indian Springs Trail and the trail up to Big Lake Knoll. I am sure the fall colors enhanced it some, but I was impressed with the short sections of trail we hiked. We did not see anyone at the trailhead and we did not see anyone while hiking. The trails were in great shape, but there were a few downed trees on the way up to the knoll. A light drizzle on and off as we hiked.

Pretty much peak for the ones around the knoll, but due in large part to part to the smaller sizes of the aspen up there.

Wildlife, glyphs and water. Easy hiking. A well marked and well maintained trail, with a couple of faded informational boards along the way. An astute eye may notice some petroglyphs in the area.

A little early on the fall colors. A new trail sign at the trailhead. KP Rim and Steeple were in great shape, although, Steeple was beginning to get more brushy as we approached its descent. We brought the pruners and trimmed a bunch of locust along the way too. We got some light rain for a few minutes here and there.

We took our pack of three dogs to the big bowl to catch some fall colors. The fall colors were good in some spots and still pretty green in others. In particular, the taller trees have not really changed and most of the trees around the trailhead are still green. Nevertheless, we were impressed with what we saw and really enjoyed the hike. We took several extended breaks to rest the dogs and enjoy our surroundings. We saw three people all day and ran into fellow HAZ member Pam on our drive out.

I went out to the Rock Creek Trail to make sure Chumley’s pics from last weekend were real. His pics were indeed real and the conditions out in the Mazzies right now are still pretty superb due to some nice September rain.

The drive in was a little sloppy in spots, but much drier on the way out. There were a couple of additional washes running and it was apparent from our first crossing that the creek levels were similar to those of last weekend. We had actually hiked a mile along Rock Creek last weekend, but did not get up there earlier enough to commit to anything beyond that, due to having the pups with us. This time we arrived much earlier and to much cloudier and cooler temps. We did not really see the sun until off it came out off and on the last couple of miles on our return. It was 72 degrees when we finished. The falls were flowing nicely and the dogs really enjoyed a deep pool just up trail and above the falls. We got some light rain during the beginning and some lighter rain for a short period during our descent. The trail is in excellent shape. We ran into a solo hiker right before reaching the trailhead.

We hiked from the trailhead to a nice stretch of young aspen that I wanted to show Brenda and then turned around to hike back and do some trail maintenance. In general, the Steeple Trail is in excellent condition, however, some locust is creeping back in its usual spots and I had carried some clippers. It is really green out there and the forest looks a lot better than it did in June. Yet, there was no water where the trail crosses the upper reaches of Grant Creek and in the past water there is a sign of a pretty robust monsoon season.

We headed out to the Blue Range Friday morning and stopped here on our way in to stretch our legs. Bear Creek Trail was in great shape and so were the short portions of the Black River Trail that we hiked. We spent considerable time letting the dogs play in the water and hitting a few deeper holes ourselves. We did not see anyone on the trail, or at the trailhead.

We went up to Jacks Canyon and the Casino Cliffs to lap some easy stuff in the morning. The wall got warm quick, so we headed up after a short session. It was nice to be able to move vertically after a long lay off. It was a fun morning. A nice end to my summer break.

I was surprised to see that this short trail from the Blue Vista Viewpoint had been cleared semi recently. I applaud the effort, but the Gambel Oak is doing its best to undo that effort. The trail is also a bit of a green tunnel of oak and locust, so unfortunately, what were undoubtedly great views at one time are pretty average and tough to get through the vegetation. I turned around right before the unnamed highpoint due to thickening brush and a lack of motivation to see the end.

I went back to the Foote Creek Trail to check on how far the trail had been cleared since recently discovering some trail maintenance east of P-Bar Lake.

Unfortunately, the trail was only cleared for about a half mile more than what I had hiked the previous week. The forest is not necessarily devastated where the trail maintenance ends, but the tread is very tough to find and there were no blazes. I only walked a short portion past the cleared trail before turning around and heading back. I did pass a few cairns and found some longer sections of tread on my way back. I was really hoping the trail maintenance had made it to the spring that I believe might mark where Foote Creek starts flowing, but it comes up a little short. Nevertheless, it was still an excellent little hike and I will probably come back to explore more of the uncleared trail one day. I have attached the route with the end of the trail maintenance marked.
