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. 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. |

Thank You Tibber for posting your pics and video's they were Great!
I re-lived the whole weekend again. And finally think I know how far in the canyon I went on my own, since I didn't join you all in the morning when you left.
I think I got as far as Booger Canyon or a bit farther, I recongized the rocks and area.
Very nice !! _________________ Wanderingsoul (Michelle)
