Excellent afternoon training hike. First time on this trail and took my dog. He is young and fit as I am also so it wasn't a too hard to hack out to Geronimo Spring and back in a few hours. Views of the canyon from the trial are limited. The road going in was a little beat up but, my RWD Ranger no lift made it fine. Glad I was able to find this trail and the springs are a huge plus. Will return. Great for isolated training hikes in future I think.

My buddy Fen and I had talked about a short AZT trip together for awhile. He being the AZT experienced one who has completed every passage of the trail. I, aspiring to through hike it within the next three years.
Day 1:
Started from the crossing at Hewitt Station Rd/Mile 297 around 10am and trucked along till Mud Spring where we filled up. (Thanks to Steward for the bucket and rope!) Springbox 100 to 200 yards up drainage from cattle trough and ammo can. Added Clif Bar and Almond Butter to ammo can for anyone needing. Made camp below the climb of Montana Mountain's pass. The weather was amazing all and not too cold at night.
Day 2:
Fen and I began this morning around around 10 am again. Neither of us in a rush in the morning and the cold/frost made things slow as they needed to dry out in the sun that took for ever to reach the bottom of th drainage. After beating feet up the biggest climb of the trip and jumping some deer we are certain some hunters at the top were stalking, we trucked along to Reavis Ranch. Rolling in before sunset and avoiding the large families that where there that night. Some fire and hot rehydrated meals made the freezing Ranch comfortable for the night.
Day 3:
Since I opted out of a tent and went bivy, I had an issue of condensation freezing inside it the first night. Did without it the second night and regretted it. Took two hours to feel my feet this morning. Also the ranch gets sun later so we did not get out till 11am. Filled water at Walnut Spring which was flowing really well. We powered through as long as we could till roughly mile 303.5 around sunset and made camp for the night in hopes of an early start the next day. We had rucked it pretty hard that day and were hurting pretty well with the lil food/rest stops.
Day 4:
Got up early but took our time to eat and prepare for the day ahead. The Scenery was amazing through these sections of trail and continued till we reached the bridge around sunset where my truck waited. Both beat up but thrilled to have experienced the superstitions in the winter.
