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:

I'll be doing the shorter hike but it looks as if we can hike together for a bit of the trail. Sounds like a great hike. Thanks for heading up another GHOTM Shawn!

I hiked this loop a couple times, but it was something like 25 - 30 years ago. I'm looking forward to seeing how much it has changed. That's assuming I can still remember anything about it.... _________________ The world is older and bigger than we are. This is a hard truth for some folks to swallow. —EDWARD ABBEY |

Does anyone know what I have to do to this to make it show up in the Event's section of the home page, or is that a moderator thing? _________________ The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. |

I'm having the same problem with the water hike planned for later this month.
Let me know if you find the answer.
Thanks,

I think when you start your thread you should start in the "community section" and select the one that says EVENTS. That will give you the option to select your start and end dates and those link to the calendar....or something like that.
However, if you did that you'll just have to wait for the events before that to roll off the front because there is only room for a handful of events. |

Since I am coming up from Tucson for this one, I wanted to either camp out along the Dugas Rd Saturday, OR...rent a forest service cabin in the area for Saturday that holds 6 people (we could split the 125 dollar charge). It is really cool and I saw it last summer (you can see pictures of it below:

I thought it would be cool for us to rent it and make a weekend of the outing. Plus, it would be a great way to get away from the trick or treaters! |
