Gorgeous morning for a hike around Parker Canyon. It was 22 degrees when I started out. Beautiful morning with frost on the ground and trail. Even though I got an early start there were a couple of fishermen on the dock. It was nice being the first person on the trail. This was my second time hiking around Parker Canyon Lake. The trail is a very easy one. Only a few ups and downs. No serious steep inclines. Lots of ducks on the lake and a few herons (I think they are herons). Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera with me. This trail is always deceptive. I started out to the right from the parking lot. The lake has many inlets, so everytime you think you are almost around the edge of the lake it is just a small inlet. Nice hike this morning!

Actually did the Echo Canyon to Heart of Rocks and Return
This route consists of the Ed Riggs, Mushroom Rock,
Big Balanced Rock and Heart of Rocks Loop Trails.
LENGTH: 7.3 miles/ 11.8 km
ACCESS: Echo Canyon Trailhead

Couldn't find that in the hikes. Started at the Massai Point parking lot, went Echo canyon, if I recall then Ed Riggs and Mushroom Trail to the Heart or Rocks. Hike with my son. It was a beautiful day. Some snow still on the ground in places. The fire really took out a lot of trees. Good news you can see more rocks. The vegetation is starting to grow again. The Chiris are magical! We got stopped short of the Heart of Rocks had some lunch and then finsihed the loop and came back down the same way we went in because the daylight was fading. Second time hiking in. The first time was a few years ago and I did the full Big Loop :)

Last time I went here was in the mid 1990's. This time they had the cemetery cleaned up and a nice fence around it. I do not recall that the first time I hiked in as part of a military class I was attending. I hiked in with my son. We got started late of course because we stopped to see the Thing on the way. ALso on the drive into Fort Bowie we stopped to see some burros near the road. It was a nice short little trip into Fort Bowie but when we got on the ridge it was very windy. We stopped along the way to read all the markers. I took a little rest on the ruins of one of the Butterfield Stage Coach houses along the way. I was interested in the remains of the fireplace. I wonder how many travellers rested there in front of that fireplace and got warm. We joked on the way out about a zombie attack. What would you do in the middle of nowhere if zombies started chasing you?
