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. Confused 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.

This was such a fabulous trip. If you haven't been, anyone can do this trip and should as it is so rewarding.

I'm presuming anyone that wants to see my Aravaipa videos has but just in case:

Day One to our campsite near Horse Camp Canyon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sfib0bBoDKw
Day Two - Pt 1 (walking up creek a little past Booger Canyon): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psbJQg7lQnM
Day Two - Pt 2 (Horse Camp Canyon): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psbJQg7lQnM
Day Three (back to western TH including a cool snake): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg6iH6XtT3U

and last, here are two somewhat identical slide shows I made (I was experimenting with Adobe Photoshop and Premiere) of the people photos I took. I'm not that happy with the quality of either but they are what they are:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCLgLiL1gf4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gTBoatKcTg

and as with most videos, you may need to adjust the volume.

I've also posted some of the photos I took in the Gallery and at the other website.

Thank You Tibber for posting your pics and video's they were Great!

I re-lived the whole weekend again. And finally think I know how far in the canyon I went on my own, since I didn't join you all in the morning when you left.
I think I got as far as Booger Canyon or a bit farther, I recongized the rocks and area.

Very nice !!
