Second Water Trail #236

Route Scout Route Recorded  on Route Scout | Pop | Map | Popup | MapDEX
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. 😃

East End Trail - MSP

Route Scout Route Recorded  on Route Scout | Pop | Map | Popup | MapDEX
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.

Consistently difficult to get peeps out to this spot. I'm still a fan. With many options, views and challenge. Tortuga was the only trail I hadn't followed out. Ends at a fence where more building is immenint.

Then up Javalina Peak which felt easier than it did 2 years ago. Wasn't going to reach stated numbers so added on Crest Summit. Next took loop around instead of same path back. Finally over bridge to opposite side of parking lot.

Posted a Meetup for a potentially rainy day. Sign ups were slow till the forecast became favorable. Hit the 10 max out. Half actually showed. Nothing shocking there. 🤷‍♂️

Hike got off to a very rocky start as two participants started screaming at each other. SMH So we took National Trail-Bajada-Alta. Alta is where it gets steeper with switchbacks.

We then took a social trail to a side viewpoint. Next was the peak. Nice lil bonus challenge. After that, it was mostly chill. A couple of those who came out were complaining it was a bit hot. This was my return to PHX.

A friend said it's absurd that I'm a PHX native & don't know the canyon 1st hand. Phantom Ranch reopened one week ago. This coming weekend its going to snow up there. The time to go is now!

4 of us got up there Friday night. A series of negative factors kept me awake virtually all night. Great way to enter the longest hike of my life. 🤷‍♂️ Start getting ready 4:30 am, in car at 6 and on shuttle at 6:30.

Wow, my 1st glimpse at the canyon. Take pics before starting. Scurry on down before chilling at Tipoff. Run into the other member from our group. He has already made it to Phantom and back!!

When we make it to Phantom, we hang for an hour. We've gone from cold in the pines to the desert floor. Climb back up to Tipoff is challenging and required multiple breaks. Tonto an easy connector + treated us to some Fall colors.

Hang at Havasupai Gardens for another 40 mins. My 1st time here, no rush. What's all the babbling about? This isn't difficult. Oh, that final climb out. 😮‍💨 Switchbacks, steps and double your AEG within the last few miles.

Dark outside and exhausted by the end. Barely catch the the final shuttle out. I'd do it all again. The Ridgeline is still more extreme. Will always remember this day.

One drops out morning of, meet other in Tempe. Both of us were a bit late for the 6:45 time. 🤓 Finding the TH wasn't difficult. The drive in is pretty and not as far as some.

Started hike before 9. RF is a definite factor in the beginning. Then the way forward becomes clear. Talked with some scouters early on. No overly difficult sections. Continuous but doable gain throughout.

After a couple tries, found the correct towers which is the the HP. Paused momentarily for friend early on the way down and spoke with the only other hiker we would see out here. Ended up descending with him. Many other options in this area. Will return. Although I will admit the Fall colors weren't quite what I was hoping.

Have gone up Old Baldy twice previously. Have also taken Baldy trail and then to Ian. Went diff this time. Super Trail to peak. This allows for new sights, enhanced views and a steadier gain.

Neither of the others had been here before so they voted to take Baldy back. Makes sense, ok. Also enabled us to finish the hike at 5 pm. Ahh, switchbacks easier on way down. 😊

So, Old Baldy=11 miles, loop is 14 and Super as an out n back would be closer to 17. Did this in t-shirt and shorts but realize not all would agree this time of year. Direct sun on summit so not at all cold. ❤️ this area.

Ahh, had been on immediate to do list for many years. Longer than any others. Slim season and finding others willing has gotten in the way. Met in Scottsdale at 7:30. These drives are getting shorter.

Pass marked TH for lil pull out a bit further N. Near hwy early in the hike. Then starts getting steeper and away from road noise. Had considered driving up to do in rev. Nope, my 4X4 would never have made it. So what is this Tacoma doing out here?? Oh, he's already damaged it. We warned him further repairs coming if he continues.

Only saw one other pair of hikers who were training for the canyon. Judging by all the beer cans at the TH, apparently hiking is not at the top of the list here. Felt a bit easier than the stats would indicate. Temps were perf. 😌

Welp, week 2 of major plans fell apart quickly. The massive storm system from Mexico doused our road trip idea. Especially since there were multiple water crossings. 😒 Upon studying, I found my one opportunity. Hit PHX trails after work on Sunday. Storms in the am then clear but keep temps down.

Started POURING on the way to work. Well, we'll see... Started hiking at 1 pm. Looked at my route from this TH bout 3.5 years ago and made sure to switch it up. Formed two small loops and went up 2 mini peaks.

Everything came together, numbers, time frame, not a drop of rain but kept many people away. ☺️ Will return another time in the future and alter the route again. 🙂

A friend and I have been planning an aggressive Fall agenda for months. A challenging route in a diff section of the state each weekend into Nov. This outing had been on my want list for 3 years. Saw a TL recently with a route that encouraged me. Let the games begin!

Easy drive to the outskirts of Prescott Valley. Pavement ends a lil before the TH. Soon realized this is littered with many discarded used condoms. WTH?!

Trails not well marked. Got off track a couple times despite two of us having it mapped out. Yet there's a random "keep dogs on leash" sign?? Steep and rocky in places. Lots of sun exposure.

Bail from the trail for a 1/2 mile to bag peak. This does involve some scrambling and there is a false summit. Chilled at the HP with the breeze. 😊 Made up our own route down a diff route. Continued the loop. Didn't see a single other person. See potential out here. 😉

Gregory Canyon TH is small. I parked in the street on a Monday. If going on a weekend then you'd be better served going to the Chautaugua TH. This will add another mile to the hike and a couple hundred ft to the AEG.

Starting with the Amphitheatre Trail, this is the most direct route at about 2.2 miles. However, most of the gain is in that section. Turned dark, windy and a bit chilly at the peak.

Tried not to waste time heading down Ranger Trail knowing a storm was brewing. This route is less extreme for an easier descent. Saw a trio of deer the majority of the way back. That closes our the 3 tallest peaks in the Boulder area. 🤗

Went to Estes Park which was crazy crowded and parking difficult. Hung out some before breaking off to hike. Went back to car and decided last second to walk to TH instead of dealing with traffic and parking again. Oops

Guessing bout 3/4 of a mile away. Ended up being 2 miles. 😶‍🌫️ Finally reached TH to see RMNP pass required. Well, guess car would've been risky after all. Beautiful loop with fall colors.

Had to skip the out n back to the lake so I wasn't gone for an exceeding time period. The way back was downhill so easier. I also cut through to another trail to get away from the road. Ended up with same distance as planned but 1/2 the AEG.

Finally made it to CO! Let's start this off with a bang. Day 2, hike 1. Easy drive, tough climb. Only had AT to go by. SMH Won't be the case for others now. 😉

Starts off moderate. Turns difficult. Grows rocky & steep. Then climb through a boulder field. Ah, this is the scrambling they were talking bout. Turns overgrown and then hop on clearer trail. L at jct to go for peak.

Way back reach boulder field. Wait a second, there is a bail out trail! WTH was all that scramble talk on AT then?! Figures. Making much better time on the way back. Decided to form a small loop which only added a bit to AEG and bout .25 mile.

Yes you can make this easier than my route. Most surely will. May be a select few who will chose the wicked route. Adventures to continue...
