Jan 2010 GHOTM:Goldfield Ovens Loop - Something new, something pretty, something historic, something moderate, something near ...
This hike is being moved to the 3rd Jan - Sunday instead of 2nd Jan as I had originally posted ( It was an error on my part-- can't read my new calendar right!)
Difficulty: 2.5
Route Finding: 2
Distance Round Trip 7.75 miles
Elevation Gain 575 feet
Avg Time Round Trip 4 hours
Start Time: 8:00 am ish at the Blue Point Recreation Site
Directions to trail: North on Ellsworth in Mesa over Usery Pass to Bush Highway. Right on Bush Highway toward Saguaro Lake for 2.5 miles. After crossing the Salt River on the bridge take the first left marked Blue Point Recreation site. Park at the far north end of the parking lot near the restroom. Parking requires a Tonto Day Pass which must be purchased in town before arriving.

I'm hoping this is just temporary! The hike looks interesting, will have to see if I can squeeze it in to my busy calendar.
I'm a strong "maybe" for this. _________________ The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. |

Folks -- made a mistake on the dates -- This needs to be on SUNDAY the 3rd rather than on the 2nd ( I have commitments I cannot wiggle out of on Saturday the 2nd )-- Can those of you that are signed up still make it on the 3rd. _________________ Photos: http://www.pbase.com/desertgirl/galleries

Why mess with tradition?
Lunch afterwards seems almost mandatory! _________________ ~Tracy
