Just a quick get-acquainted with the Peralta TH area. The elevation was a bit much for my 13yo hound so we cut it short. Popular trail with many people and pups on it.

Just a short out and back today on this beautiful trail to enjoy the end of fall colors an get my 13yr old dog out to stretch her legs. A 70 degree, clear day made it perfect. We had Lunch at Workman creek and a chance to get our paws muddy while we watched oak leaves fall to the ground.
I’d planned to hike Sixshooter but the entire area in the Pinals is still marked as closed due to the remnants of the Telegraph fire.

Just a quick trip out to the Superstition Wilderness to walk in the desert for a while!

Started at 7:15 am; quickly rose to 95 degrees. The hike is straight up the contour, but the reward is a lovely meadow view.

Started this pretty hike at 7am. It got to about 80 degrees by 9am on this July day, and at about 3 miles my 2 dogs kept heading for the shade so we turned around. Lots of dogs and people out today.

Loved it so much last weekend I went back again to find the end, and the permissible campaing area. The 12-yo hound seemed hesitant on that small section where we're on a ledge over the Verde, so on the way back we walked thru the water to avoid any accidents.

I've lived here 20+ years and regret not finding Parsons Trail much, much earlier. Got a late start at the TH at 11 a.m. and the parking lot was full. Already nearly 90 degrees, the first leg in full exposure wasn't fun, but once we hit the cool shade of the canyon the trail became a delight. Just seeing water in AZ is soul-restoring! I didn't see many folks on the trail...until we got to the main swimming hole. Social distancing was NOT going on here, so we pushed on past the ledges to find a more secluded spot to jump in and cool off.
The exposed sandy trail was too hot for the little dog's paws on the way out, so he got a backpack ride. Next time I'll start much earlier in the summer.

This is my first triplog so pardon any errors as I learn the HAZ system! :D
The remnants of Hurrican Rosa hit Phoenix on Tuesday, Oct. 2, raising the water level in Aravaipa to 20 cfs by Friday, Oct. 5, the day our group of 5 backpackers entered from the west for a 3-day trip. While all 5 of us are experienced hikers, 2 were new to backpacking. We entered at 11 a.m. and because of the increased resistance from the raised water level, and all the downed cottonwoods from the Sept. flood, it was slow going. Several downed trees in the water created deep pools that we opted to bushwack around rather than swim through. We got to Horse Camp at 4 p.m. and set up camp at a lovely spot with an established fire ring. There were no fire restrictions this weekend, and plenty of downed twigs to keep our small fire going until "hiker bedtime" (8 p.m.)
On Day 2, we day-hiked east to the junction of Hell's Hole Canyon (very easy to spot) and back into Hell's Hole about a mile. Although we found some seeps and fern outcroppings along the canyon walls, we did not spot any flowing waterfalls. The hike back to Horse Camp was noticeably easier going with, instead of against, the flow of water.
Day 3 started as overcast with growing, dark clouds so we didn't linger in camp. By our last 1.5 miles, the sky opened up and drenched us for about 20 minutes, then became a gentle drizzle for the remainder of our trip out.
Over the course of our trip, we saw a tribe of 5 coatimundi (with a baby!), heron, a snapping turtle, lots of little frogs, bats, deer, caterpillars, a wolf spider in our camp, and a giant tarantula in Hell's Hole Canyon.
This is a trip I'd gladly do again in order to explore some of the other side canyons.
