I am considering a moderate 2 niter backpack into Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness on Dec 3 & Dec 4th & 5th Dec
Plan is to go in from West side (Easy Passenger Car accesible) hike in ~ 5 miles & basecamp for Fri/Sat ; explore further on Saturday & Hike back out on Sunday.
Group Size: Limited to 10 ( I have permits to enter on Friday & Exit on Sunday)
Permit Fees are: 5$ a day & we will share the costs of unused permits if I can't get them refunded. Confused Hopefully it does not come to this ....

TH Start Time: 10:30 am
Camp Location: 3 lons & fire ring campsite just across from Horse Camp Canyon. One of the tents will have arizonahiker.com tag ( Angel's tent!)
Directions to West Trailhead:
The access road is usually suitable for passenger cars year round.

From Phoenix (120 miles, 2 to 2.5 hours): Take US Highway 60 to Superior. At Superior, take State Highway 177 to Winkelman. At Winkelman, turn right / south onto State Highway 77, 11 miles to Aravaipa Road (at Central Arizona College). Turn left and go 12 miles to the West trailhead along a paved and graded dirt road. From the trailhead, it is a 1.5-mile hike through Nature Conservancy land to the west wilderness boundary.

Nothing a good sleeping bag wouldn't take care off.

Anne.....it might be a little chilly but nothing we can't handle...if you can hike in a massive rainstorm in the Supes, you can layer some clothes and go to Aravaipa Smile

Wasn't sure if this was going to turn onto a 'Gals weekend' or what. Shades

Sweet. Would be really great to see y'alls too.
I'm hoping to get some time free between now and then to get some other hikes in. Will let you know. I really love this time of year.

YeeHaa! I checked our On-call and I finish my turn the week before this. And it isn't a Maintenance weekend ! I'm free and finally able to sign up for something! Very Happy Putting in my notice tomorrow so they know I'll be gone.

I'm in if ya'll have me.

I've been wanting to do this one forever, checked into permits a couple of years ago but the plans & trip never jelled.

Thanks Ambika for getting this together.
