With the breeze, felt far more pleasant than expected. Although these relatively short drives are nearly over. Small group from Meetup as we knocked out mileage at a strong hiking speed.

Balanced Rock, Amphitheatre plus Cathedral Rock along the route. Formed a double loop. Updated RS and it performed far better than the previous two weeks. Till I hit finish and it suddenly pronounced 15k AEG. 🤥

Was set for a car shuttle hike from here. When it ended up being just 2 of us, we decided to scratch that idea for now. Dug around last night and found an interesting outing thx to @dixieflyer

My friend said he'd done Hackberry Mesa and it wasn't anything special so we skipped that one. Black Mesa is easy. Yellow Peak is lots of fun with fantastic views. Peak 3097, meh. The grass ends up stuck all through your socks, boots and even pants. Slow clean up and annoying. The peak and approach aren't all that interesting.

He then suggested we just short cut across from there to create the loop. He went for these 3 minor peaks so, against my better judgement, what the hell. We eventually hit an absurd drop which he started to descend. Nixed that idea and found a better spot. I'm the voice of reason? This is getting scary. 😅

Starting with Paradise Trail instead of Bull Basin as we did last year, is a world of difference. Locate registry at summit, wait, no. This is a wine bottle with a poem addressed to a mythical future wife. If you desire a response, you need to leave contact info Joey.

Venture further out to cabin. A rare older structure you can enter. Climb back out to jct is steep.

Updated RS this past week. Guess I shouldn't have. The stats for the 1st mile, my friends immediately disputed. Mile 2 was pronounced as 0 EG, no disputing that is wrong. More iffy reports till it went berserk. Toward the end it pronounced 15k AEG. 🤭 One more mile and 26k. 😵‍💫 In the end, it attempted to right itself with just under 15k. 🤓

Florida Canyon Trail #145
Partners none no partners
Route Scout Route recorded on Route Scout | Pop | Map | Popup | MapDEX
Was eyeing E Supes but with this heat decided to go for a summit at elev. already. Florida Canyon had been on the wish list for 4 years. Mccleary came on to the radar bout two years ago. Had to convince the others it's worth the drive.

Met at 6:30 to go for this bad boy. Start hike after 9. This outing was exactly as I'd envisioned. Was able to keep a strong pace for the 1st 3 miles but then the constant EG started slowing me down.

After 4.5 miles and 3500 ft gain, we made it to the saddle. Chilled there some before continuing upward. Onto a trail I'd never even heard of. Blocks of ice as PHX hits record highs.

The turn off for the summit is unmarked and there is even a log to seemingly discourage others from taking this route. Sometimes I just guessed but was able to stay on track. Once again, no registry. Contemplated placing the one I brought but decided against it. Took a nasty tumble during the descent of the off trail section. Feeling it today.

Posted a previous outing where we did a shorter loop. @LosDosSloFolks commented I may want to add Limestone Trail to the loop. A year & a half later, I did. Found a route from @darthStiller which included a short side excursion. Sweet, I'm in. Thx guys

Took us 3 hours to reach the TH from the Meetup spot. Much of this outing is fairly chill. Incline increases leading to the saddle. Unfortunately this is in an obvious burn scar.

Further in I was told it was greener and prettier on a previous outing. For reasonable expectations, not much left of the ancient ranch. Also, off season the orchard doesn't look like much of anything.

The last mile+ packs some AEG punch before reaching the TH. However, that is not the end of the outing. You still have to traverse that road, which is far more challenging than the hike.

Out of bed at 3:30, meet 1st person at 5, two more by 6, start hiking before 7 & still end up in the darkness?! Chill at Fremont Saddle, got off trail a bit during Robber's Roost section.

4 miles in, reached Carney jct with Ridgeline. Starts chill from there but further in grows viscous. This is where our group begun to space out. One guy plowed ahead unphased. I huffed and puffed forward. 😮‍💨 Another guy voluntarily hung back with one who was beginning to struggle some.

When we chose to stay higher than we needed, scrambling across the top, one in our group got freaked out. We started realizing time was slipping away. Next we witnessed a dramatic helicopter rescue right next to us.

Just as it seems to start taming, another scramble would begin. We now had to drop down Flat Iron quicker than the sun. Why are a couple other groups still ascending?? To Siphon Draw just before darkness

Another distressed individual who is literally shaking and out of water. Now one in our group has had enough with this outing. My headlamp breaks. WTF? This is an amazing outing but PLZ know what you're getting into.

Hmmm, where do I begin? Let's cut straight to it. We kept a strong pace up Quartz Peak knowing things would slow down substantially from that point. Oh yes they did. 2 hours to Quartz then chilled up there some. Another group was bout to reach the peak as we were leaving it. They flew a drone around for some great views. Then sent it over above us. Where the hell are these guys going?

The next mile consisted of ups, downs, vegetation, scrambling, etc. In a rare instance, my friends I was with even grumbled a bit. Is this really worth it? Sure. Registry placed there just 2 years ago nowhere to be found. 😔

From the top we decided on what would prove to be a mistake. We took the wash back. 🫨 I strongly recommend returning the way you came. We spent more time descending to the TH over the next 3 miles than it took to reach the true summit. Oops. Barely finished before full darkness.

This was truly a last second idea. Original idea came unraveled the night before. Met for carpool at 8:30. Straightforward for a while. Then leave trail for open country. Finding the ruins was easier than expected.

The climb back down was the most difficult portion. We took two spills each on the way down. We then left the route to check out something we'd spotted from above. Inspected the wreck before carrying on.

We meandered off a bit again to check out the spring. Water was flowing. Continued to close out the loop. As we got closer to the start, we began to see participants in the 50 mile run again. Interesting outing of moderate difficulty.

Had gone down this route back in 2021 till we hit the road block. A recent hike confirmed the road had finally reopened. At Long last, could return for rest of drive. Long curvy road. Stays paved longer than I would logically expect.

At the rest stop area is a warning bout the surface. From here is a no car zone. Sign says 4x4 or ATV, although I didn't use it. Route does mellow out again and returns to pavement at Apache Lake.

Views, scenery and road that dates back to the early 1900s. This get away was blocked off for years. Then some fool in a semi got stuck on a bridge. Shutting it till the day before we went out there. 😌

2nd week in a row where the lot was full. Then pull offs were mostly full as well. Said hello to others at TH before backtracking. This is a beautiful loop.

Second Water is fairly straight forward and flat doing this clockwise. Gotta keep the eyes peeled to follow the ever changing trail through this section of Boulder Canyon.

Dutchman is where the group split off. 3 shot out at warp speed. 4 of us kept a strong stride. Three took a more chill pace back. Avg bout 100 ft gain per mile. As long as you do your homework, can't go wrong when exploring the Supes.

Plz note: parking lot full again. Was supposed to meet one more hiker on trail but there was a miscommunication and went wrong way. Pry 15 miles and a bit less AEG without any of that.

Also, apparently these trails have been cleaned up since original write up and some of these prior triplogs. RF and catclaw not much of an issue. On a Supes streak and not done yet!

Met 3 others for carpool @7:30. Arrived to line in order to enter TH. Sitting in a line that only moves as others give up. Nah, well just pay the $10. That did add nearly 1.5 miles RT.

Finally on actual trail. Reached pools and heiroglyphics soon enough. Chilled out & took some pics. Bye to the others, let the true adventure begin. No official trails from here but there is a trail through most of it.

Surprised to see others up there. Decided not to place the registry I had brought. Would fill up too quickly. Despite that, this is a tough hike. Had been on my list for years. Bout time!

A friend wanting to do this outing. He now said he wants to drive the Apache Trail. I saw multiple days of rain in the forecast. I'm not huge on repeats but this one is very much worth it. Let's go!

He somehow talked me into meeting at 6. 🥴 Woke at 4:30 and two others agreed to our wacky plan. Dark for most of the drive during winter solstice week. 1st time through Fish Creek Hill. 🚙

TH at 8. Not much later than when I camped last time. Chilly at start but once sun came out, we shed the jackets. Was ready for the RF this time + this group kept me pushing the pace. Had to stop a fair amount to take pics of this beauty.

Waterfall flowing but not to same level as previously. Got back to trail in just 45 mins. Up and up. 😓 Tagged a bonus peak. Scouted a future off trail peak. Finished an hour quicker than expected. 💪

3 met from Meetup for this adventurous outing. Joined a Meetup to tackle this bad boy in early 2020. One guy fell forward during a steep descent directly on his head. Another lady was so freaked out she was on the ground screaming 😱. Was hoping wouldn't be as dramatic this time around. 🙃

Was up a bit last the night before watching Jake Paul get KO'd. 🥊 Takes me 50 minutes to reach this TH. Worth it. Approach is fairly straight forward. Then we figure out a path. Stopped seeing cairns so just scrambled up.

Managed to find the trail but staying on it isn't easy. Two diff peaks before Wind "Cave". Then started seeing people. Over to Wind Cave TH. Finally Pass MTN loop back. Thankfully no falling or screaming. 😃

Added this to my wish list 4 years ago. Soon after, led an outing to the Lookout from Gateway as an out n back. A year ago I had done Lookout+ from Tom's Thumb. This time started from Tom's Thumb and then did lollipop loop.

Forgot how Tom's Thumb trail starts steep. Mostly downhill and saw virtually no one after Lookout turnoff. Then came Windgate where we started working harder again. Inspiration Point and Windgate Pass along the route.

Next we dropped down to another jct. Climbing back out East End at this point is challenging. Then we finally saw other people again as we hiked Tom's Thumb back to our vehicles. Friday is a refreshing change from Saturday crowds. 😌

Bruh! 😳 This hike is for noone. 😁 For real, study the topo in advance, use two diff apps and check rock stability before pulling up. Group of 15, I'm the only 1 that even attempted.

5 miles before leaving the trail. 1.5 miles to summit took me bout 2.5 hours. Down traditional route, it is easy to get off track. Albeit a whole hell of a lot more reasonable than descending the back side!

This was on my want list for exactly 1 year. That's rather quick turnaround or me.😛 The original trekker who created this route, you are exceedingly brave, my friend. Happy holidays y'all. 🌲🎁🤶

4 years ago I stumbled upon this TH while showing the area to someone else. I knew I needed to return that this would be a natural hiking spot for me. Welp, took longer than I expected to hike here.

I had proposed a spot in the Estrellas, my friend suggested this TH and for me to create a route. Hung around on HAZ some and found many options. Went with this one since neither of us had hiked here and were unsure of the terrain.

catclaw and RF didn't prove to be much of a factor. That said, long pants still advised. We took our time yet finished the route in under 7 hours. Hung at the peak for a while to take it all in. Keep in mind, you'll need to add 6.5 miles to all of the HAZ pages from here.
