|
|
WHERE: First Water TH
WHEN: March 6 @ 9 AM
This is a pretty easy 9.5+ mile loop hike in the Western Superstitions and I've traditionally done this one clockwise from Second Water through Garden Valley and up Black Mesa Trail into Boulder Basin. I'm thinking we need to add some zing to it and do it counter-clockwise and go in from the Dutchman #104 through Parker Pass to Boulder Basin and hike up Black Mesa (just for a change of pace). It's about 4 miles in on the Dutchman to Aylor's Camp so this would be a good place for lunch. Then a decent elevation gain and leg workout going up Black Mesa. I'm not sure of the elevation gain from Boulder Basin to the top of Black Mesa so anyone with this info please chime in. I know it's a decent climb.
FYI $4 fee at FW Trailhead
Found a great place for Post-hike and y'all should love this! Red, White & Brew on McDowell & Power Road. Excellent food and great beer.

Great pictures all. Tom, someone needs to take that camera away from you. I have yet to see you take a shot. Must be a ninja photographer or something. |
