It's been a while since I've last backpacked and it was an ideal weekend to be out. The weather was over cast and eventually turned to rain on Sun. The rain did make navigation over slipper rock and fallen leaves to be a bit slick. I'm always amazed at this hike, as the trail and navigation seems to be different each time I've been there, depending on the water levels. There were many fallen trees over the trail especially surrounding the area nearing Tony's Cabin.

The cabin appears to be recently cleaned and in better shape then I've seen in the past. It did dawn on me that the cabins roof with it's leaks and holes may not be able to stand many more years and I feel fortunate to be able to see it standing with all it's relics hanging on the walls and surrounding the cabin.

We were the only ones on the trail which was a first for me. It was nice to have the area to ourselves. With all the fallen trees we didn't have to even move from our camp site to collect wood. It was as if the forest decided to drop it's load right at our fire ring.

There was a lot of heavy mining equipment on the road to the trailhead. It looks like that road may become off limits for access to that trailhead soon. I certainly hope not.

This is the first time that I've hiked the Flatiron without a backpack. WOW! I'll be doing this one more often, minus backpacking it! The weather was ideal today.

This is my second favorite backpack, with Paria Canyon/Buckskin Gulch being my favorite hike to date. It was beautiful going in, the moon was still out. Fri. night it rained pretty hard and by Sat. afternoon the waters had turned chocolate brown. It reminds you of the effects a flash flood can have in a canyon. I literally watched Havasu Falls turn brown and watched it change the creek all the way to Mooney Falls. Mary

What a fantastic trip. Went up to the cool pines camping for the weekend with a couple friends, but did this hike solo. I saw a doe within the first 100 ft of the trail, lots of wild flowers and birds. The weather was ideal and the trail was great. Met some interesting people on the trail and the usual boyscouts heading up to camp.

Plans were to go down New Hance heading eastern and coming out at Lipton Point, however illness would have us held up at Papago Canyon for 2 nights....not a bad place at all to be held up. New Hance is a steep trail, one that I much prefer to climb rather than go down it. Getting to Papago Canyon is an interesting area where you have to literally climb over an enormous rock slide to get into Papago Canyon. The amazing thing is, if the water levels were low enough, it would only require about 100-150 feet to get from one beach to the other, but instead you have to climb the rock slide to get around. Papago Canyon is a beautiful area with sandy beaches and a fantastic cliff where we were able to have shade the entire day. It's a nice secluded area, one that I was thankful for when we did our return trip up the New Hance trail, as at Hance Rapid's it appeared to be a campground with all the groups and people scattered all over the place. It seemed far from secluded or private. I was grateful for our secluded little oasis.
