| no partners | | Thinking of hiking while respecting social distancing, this little hike was a test case for hiking / biking. Inspired by the excellent AZHiker456, Diablito seemed perfect. We biked in from Tubac and followed the Hunters' Access Road as described by AZHiker456 who also describes the last point for parking a car and continuing. Anyway, continue on a rough dirt road until you find a place to park the bikes and start walking. We elected to leave the road just after the Chivas Spring wash and pedaled out west into the brush as far as we could tolerate, then dropped into the wash and stashed the bikes. Cholla and Stag Head cactus are minimal at this point and increase dramatically moving north around Diablito which is why we did not follow AZHiker456's route. Anyway, there are no complications just trudge up and come back via the southern track on our GPS which was easier.

Wildflowers Observation None
Ocotillo was in full bloom; the tiny summit has some small white trumpet shaped flowers that attracts a ton of insects including bees which stung the two of us. |
