Solo hike, first time using RouteScout and for 4 miles in a row was startled by the bird calls until I finally turned down the media volume on my phone. Had never done a "gps" hike before, I mostly hike well signed trails in town, so this was interesting da. Lost the trail a few times by taking the wrong 4 wheel drive track and either backtracked or cut across the desert to link back up. Big thank you to whomever did the cairns on the north side of the loop. The trail was very overgrown in parts and I wouldn't have able to follow it without a little guidance. Gaiters and pants were a necessity. Saw some ruins and petrogylphs. Would love for someone to let me know which petrogylphs are authentic and which are more modern interpretations of rock art. Saw one guy 4 wheeling up the road and that was it for other humans. Found an antler shed and a horseshoe. Nice day of solitude and trying to follow the gps. Is there a way to get RS to make the way I am facing up on my cell phone screen as opposed to to the top of the screen always being north? Will try and post a few pictures.
