Bulldog Canyon Day Hike
|
| Hikers: | Doug Hawkins, Dave and Yu-Ling Langford, Joe Michalides, Chuck Parsons, Doug Schilling, Mike Simonson, and Sharon Strong |
| Leader: | Beth Baumert |
| Length: | 9 miles |
We started out with a view of Four Peaks to the left, and we then
passed many impressive rock formations of Precambrian granite which
is 1.8 billion years old, topped by ash spewed out by the Superstition
Mountain volcanoes about 20 million years ago. Upon meeting the
first forest service road to the right, we met a caravan of
4-wheelers. We proceeded after they had passed and wound around
into a shady spot, where we took a break. When Joe's GPS indicated
that we had done 4.4 miles, we stopped for lunch. We continued back
along the same route, admiring the scenery from a different viewpoint.
It was a lovely day and a fun hike.
