I am considering a moderate 2 niter backpack into Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness on Dec 3 & Dec 4th & 5th Dec
Plan is to go in from West side (Easy Passenger Car accesible) hike in ~ 5 miles & basecamp for Fri/Sat ; explore further on Saturday & Hike back out on Sunday.
Group Size: Limited to 10 ( I have permits to enter on Friday & Exit on Sunday)
Permit Fees are: 5$ a day & we will share the costs of unused permits if I can't get them refunded. Hopefully it does not come to this ....

TH Start Time: 10:30 am
Camp Location: 3 lons & fire ring campsite just across from Horse Camp Canyon. One of the tents will have arizonahiker.com tag ( Angel's tent!)
Directions to West Trailhead:
The access road is usually suitable for passenger cars year round.
From Phoenix (120 miles, 2 to 2.5 hours): Take US Highway 60 to Superior. At Superior, take State Highway 177 to Winkelman. At Winkelman, turn right / south onto State Highway 77, 11 miles to Aravaipa Road (at Central Arizona College). Turn left and go 12 miles to the West trailhead along a paved and graded dirt road. From the trailhead, it is a 1.5-mile hike through Nature Conservancy land to the west wilderness boundary. |

I have none of those things. I do have the neoprene socks, but I am not impressed with them. My feet were wet! Oh well. I will just trudge through the water and sit by the nice warm campfire with some
So should we take that Friday off to hike in? _________________ Anne

They are not supposed to keep them dry, just help keep them warmer! _________________ ~~~Diane~~~

See PM for address, Pl mail permit fees ($15 / head) so that I do not have to have a bunch of cash with me at TH. If you are meeting me in the next few weeks then you can just bring the $ then.
I think I will be meeting most of you at Hart Prairie.

My check is in the mail (REALLY....it is) sending it tomorrow.
Since everyone is heading through AJ to get to the TH, can I swing a ride from one of y'all? I'll make egg burritos and coffee.

Hey Trish,
I'd be interested in carpooling, if you haven't already coordinated with anyone. Gotta get myself to the tire store and get those new tires, I'm about due for them now. _________________ Wanderingsoul (Michelle)

I am going to put in for that Friday off. If my boss won't give it to me, then will camp at or near trailhead Friday night and hike in to find you guys very early on Sat. Since I can get myself up and started hiking by the slightest color of dawn, I can probably make 5 miles before you are finished with breakfast, if I know this AZH group! |

Ok. Sounds good to me! I hear there is not much water. I am only going to do this if I can't get Friday off, though. And I won't know until the last minute. That is how things go in school bus driver land. |
