The
trailhead can be found at the end of a mining road, near a mineshaft, a
short distance from the parking lot. From here the trail ascends at a
moderate rate through scenic Sonoran panoramas as it makes its way to
the base of the mountain. At the mountain base the rate of assent
increases as the trail takes you around the many cliff lines encountered
on your way to the summit. The route provides a small amount of exposure
and is similar in difficulty to Camelback Mountain.
The above listed trip
reports--documenting day hikes, backpacking trips, and car camping trips
organized and arranged by the Arizona Trailblazers Hiking Club,
Inc.--are meant to be more of a record of the various events performed
by the hiking club and are not meant to be the only guide for anyone
else wishing to do the same hike or backpacking trip. Instead, they
should only be used as a supplemental to an official guidebook that
addresses that specific hike or backpacking trip. Natural changes
(floods, fires, windstorms, etc.) can occur and change and alter the
landscape. The Forest Service sometimes changes the routing of a trail.
Trail junction signs can be removed or altered. For these reasons, the
hiking club's trip reports and even the official guidebooks may no
longer be totally accurate in describing the trail and its layout. There
is always the possibility, however remote, of a hiker sustaining harm or
injury while on any hike, no matter how safe it may initially seem. The
Arizona Trailblazer's Hiking Club, Inc., as well as any of its officers,
directors, representatives, and designated hike leaders, disclaims any
liability or responsibility for accidents, injuries, damages, or losses
whatsoever that may occur to anyone using the trip reports that are
available on our website. The responsibility for good health and safety
while hiking, backpacking, or camping, ultimately rests with the
individual.
