On September 19, we drove to Moqui Stage stop (approximately 11 relatively easy miles on a gravel road). the southern terminus of Passage 36. Because of the shoe issues, we had determined to hike, rather than mountain bike, the southern section of the trail. This was a shame, because after traversing the spur trail from Moqui Stage stop, the trail followed two-track roads for as far as we went (2 miles out and back, for a total of 4 miles). The AZT bicycling guide had rated the section from Russell tank to here as rougher mountain biking than the sections we had done, but the section we hiked did not seem to be so. Again, clear weather, temperatures in the high 70s to low 80s, wildflowers abounded. From the southern end of Passage 36, I did hike 1/4 mile farther down the beginning of Passage 35.
