As others note, be prepared for pokey things. Pro-tip: the best way to navigate shin daggers and catclaw are to step right on top of them. Highlights included seeing a crested saguaro, seeing a Crested Caracara, finding some neat amphibolite, and signing the summit register opposite Alyson and John Kirk (of listofjohn (pay $ite) fame). A note about accessing the "trailhead"--I was able to get there fine in my RAV4 using the directions posted in this guide. I would not want to do so if the road was muddy. A car with less clearance would probably still be alright, though there was one or two ruts that may be problematic. Taking the first right off of Hayhook Ranch Road (at the "cow town" sign) seems to offer better road conditions than heading west on Dills Best Rd. |
