| partners | | | This is a 30+mi loop hike out of Reavis trail head. My trip odometer on my GPS measured it at 34mi total. Anyway, I hiked into Reavis on day one and spent the night. The next morning I headed south to Reavis Saddle then to Roger's Canyon trail. Once I took the turnoff going NW on the Roger's canyon trail to the Cliff Dwellings and checked the out a bit. Then I kept going to Angel Basin. From there I took the Frog Tanks Trail continuing through Roger's Canyon. The trail was pretty clear but the stories you heard about catclaw here are no exaggeration. It's thick and potent. If it's early in the season you'd better pack some loppers or hedge shears. It's brutal. Anyway, expect some rock hopping through Roger's canyon and the Frog Tanks trail in spots. It sometimes makes for slow going. I went from Angel Basin to the next night's camp at the confluence of Roger's Canyon, Fish Creek Canyon and Rough Canyon. It's about 12 or 13 miles from the first night's camp at Reavis Ranch. This is an excellent place to camp and I'm glad I did because the next morning it was all uphill out of the canyon. It's steep and long and you want to do that portion of the hike in the morning. From that camp I made it to Plow Saddle and back to the trail head (around 12mi.) This is an excellent backpacking trip. You pass through a wide diversity of forests and see ancient ruins as well. Well worth the one vacation day you'd have to take off from work. |
