April 18, 2021Really beautiful hike. So glad I did it.
April 17, 2021Half of the trail was a little rocky, but great views of the valley and saguaro-filled hills!
April 7, 2021Overall good trail, was a little hot but the sun helped. Felt like it was uphill for the first 2/3rd! Definitely a lot of loose rocks so be careful where you step
April 3, 2021Nice short trail by the saguaros. It was really hot when we did it (between 11 am - 1 pm on Saturday 4/3) so definitely bring water and a hat. Saguaros were everywhere and there was a good view from the Gould mine

March 15, 2021March 15, 2021Great hike. Great weather.
March 13, 2021Very cold and lovely winter hike so a really nice experience today with E. Not too challenging for him and he loved the mine. Almost 3 miles, going clockwise, which was a nice direction. Wouldn’t want to do this in heat but on an overcast & chilly day it is a winner.

March 7, 2021Easy hike for a Sunday afternoon. Surprised it was not busier, but, of course, there is still covid. Hat, sunscreen, and sturdy shoes are higly recommended, as there is virtually no shade and the trail is mostly rolling stones.
March 7, 2021March 2, 2021February 24, 2021February 20, 2021Great trail! There’s good views of the valley. When you get to the wash there are some petroglyphs a few feet into the wash to the right. Just watch out for the bees in that area!
February 19, 2021February 15, 2021February 13, 2021February 7, 2021February 6, 2021Pretty rocky terrain, be sure to have proper footwear. Some cool views. Want to take the bigger loop next time, but cut it short today.
February 6, 2021February 3, 2021February 1, 2021Nice trail. Fairly easy and well marked.
January 31, 2021last mile quite steep
