Hello Evenstar
Thankyou for notifying me of this hike. Would very much like to participate. Will keep an eye on the "events" section to stay up to date with planning arrangements. I will probably call you once I arrive in Phoenix on 2 May.
Looking forward to meeting you all.
Skippy Very Happy

Looks like there's gonna be an excellent turnout. GTG probably can't make it, but messami may if she doesn't have to work. Just a remeinder: Road into trailhead very definitely requires high clearance, tho' not four wheel drive.
I figure we can meet at the Target Store's parking lot at Loop 101 and I-17 (27th ave offramp) and organize rides from there. I'll have the Jeep.
More details as the day approaches.

I have never been but would like to go. What is the trail like? Will there be boulder hopping? Many stream crossings? I am doing much better and have a nasty case of cabin fever. I would love to go but am still having a little difficulty if I need to stretch or reach out too far to pull myself up, still pulls on the incision. Confused

Can someone give me a trail description?

It's 10 miles with little elevation change and no bouldering. Rated 2.5 in difficulty on HAZ and you can get full trail description there.
