In deference to some potential scheduling conflicts, and to ensure sufficiently cool weather, I propose a later date than what was discussed on the interest thread. Hopefully Halloween partying doesn't preempt "morning after" hiking for too many in this group.
This hike is north of town off the Dugas Road interchange, which is just north of Cordes Junction on I-17, then ~15 miles of gravel, some rough, east to the rather minimal trail head. A couple years ago there was an old outhouse there, maybe some tables, but that is all. There would be filterable water a short ways in from the creek. The hike begins along the stream, climbs to the top of Pine Mountain, then continues along the ridgeline, finally dropping and looping back to the entrance route.
Short loop is ~9 miles, longer is ~12 with some route finding requirements. I intend to do the longer route. The toughest part is a short but steep section just before the top.

Let's meet at the Denny's parking lot, southwest quadrant of I-17 and Bell, at 7:00 AM. We'll leave there at 7:15.
The route/map is:

This one is Ultra nice! Well composed, perfect angle, subjects are comfortable and happy. (they must know the photographer) Don't think I could have shot this any better myself. |

Forgetting my kudos here-- Suz gets the honors for this image Thanks for making us an awesome memory shot -- could'nt have been better!!!!
I blame my signature on that on Lightroom!!!! Will fix that when I get a back. _________________ Photos: http://www.pbase.com/desertgirl/galleries
