|
|
I'm proposing the weekend of August 6th for a fun hike up Granite Mountain, here near Prescott. If you'd like to escape the heat and hike through the ponderosa pines, let me know...
We could camp near Granite Mountain Friday and/or Saturday nights, or just come up for a day hike.
Or, for the really adventurous, we could hike up on Saturday, camp out at my secret campsite on Granite Mountain (known only to the general public), and hike down Sunday morning...

What a great day! Thanks Hank for putting this one together! It was a little warmer than I was expecting and I got a bit worried about Lucy but she did great! Cheese burger and fries and a yummy chocolate malt on the grass afterward was awesome as well!!! Let's play again soon everyone!!! _________________ ~~~Diane~~~

Stomper, Accidents on AZ Hwys have a way of ruining weekend plans (been there before) sorry you couldn't join us.
This was a great hike...quite a workout for those of us that have been slothing around all summer Great views, great company, some pretty butterflies and a black rattle snake to liven things up a bit!
All in all, a fun day. I'm looking forward to playing again soon! |

Sounds like a great day!! Wish I could have made it but apparently someone decided to lay down in the middle of AZ89 and get run over. Road was closed north of Wickenberg, just as the foothills began. Some folks were talking about going through a place called Stanton but since I was cutting it close timewise and had no idea about the roads to/from there I turned back. Glad everyone had fun. _________________ Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail. |

Good morning Everyone!! What an awesome hike. Hank, thank you very much for showing us that little gem. I came back all fired up about backpacking up there. I talked to Cristina about it last night. Hoping to be returning there for those north views and that awesome ledge
It sure was fun to get out and hike with and see everyone again!! John, it was nice meeting you! _________________ All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them...Walt Disney |
