Twoseeking was talking about the first day of the search Tuesday. Twoseeking wrote: I was on the Tonto Rim SAR team on Tuesday morning the 16th. We were the first ones to arrive and first to search on the mountain. Maybe some of the info I have will help some of you. When we got on the ridge between...

I'm just back from the Peeley trailhead. The road in was icy and had snow on it. How ever there was a white four door All wheel drive suburu hatchback at the trailhead. I finished my search around the trailhead to the Southeast. Has anyone gone down the old road to THicket Spring. IT's up on top of ...

@MtnResq30 MtnResq30 was that you I saw fly by today at around 12:15 pm at the Peeley Trailhead? I had just finished a trailhead search going out about three hundred yards in every direction. No results. I saw you guys and thought we had a resoultion. I'm trsar 577 and ran into one of you guys at t...

JUst back from the Peeley trailhead. Around 12:15 maricopa counties fox one flew over the trailhead and circled around to the other side. Does anyone know why they were out there?

I took my ATV in 25A on Monday and made it about 3/4 of the way in and hiked up the 86trail to the 260 trail then up that to Thicket Spring and then back down the 86 trail. There was a big pool of clear water with moss that if I had needed any water I wouldn't have worried about filtering a couple o...

Just for everyone's info. Today I hiked from the end of FR 25A up the Cornucopia TR86 to TR 260 and up and over the hill to Thicket Springs TR95 North on that trail to Cronucopia TR86 and back down to my ATV at the 25A road. No sign but then there's been a lot of rain that have wiped out all tracks ...

I'm hoping to find trail # 260 or if I can't find that trail I'll go up #86 and then back down to #88 and the searching the Southern side of Sheep mt. I'm hiking as a member of this Hike Arizona group so if anyone else is interested ...

I was at the Mt. Peeley trailhead yesterday with around ten other TRSAR members and we sent in a six man squad with four of them acting as rely points for radio. It took from 8:30 AM till around 2:30 PM just to get two squad members to Sheep Mt. where the search is being concentrated. I and several ...

I was up there last month and I'm an old goat. Mayber there were some other old goats up there.

Rocky Mountain Big horn maybe.

Seems that this guy was dead before the search started. The only reason they came back Tuesday to do a search near the trailhead was a hiker that had seen Kelly on the trail saw him hiking back towards the trailhead while he was still up on top. This person then went out of town and didn't hear abou...

Sheriff Joe has a dedicated SAR helo. Got to fly in it on that last Superstition search.

Great directions, thanks

In response to azbackpackr:
I'm looking at hiking to the top of Escudilla this coming weekend. Can you tell me going South out of Springerville which turn off to take to get to the trail head?

The Feds are alway heavy handed and always over kill on everything they do. I've experenced this first hand ten years ago when I lived in Young, Az. The local fed cited me for cutting tree limbs on a trail in back of our house. The story is that we had had a snow storm in late April and it had broke...

Well I get off Saturday at 5pm and I'll be leaving from Pine and spend the night either up close to the snow bowl or in the wal mart parking lot.
I'm planning on getting a early start 6am or so and hope to see some of you all on the trail.

In response to Grasshopper:
Well that's good, haven't been there yet. Thanks for clearing my mind about where the trail is.

I'm not sure how far up that trail goes. I've been up it to the Gowan grave marker but no farther. How much trail is there?

What time are you planning on starting the hike at the Snow Bowl?

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the ridge to the North of Mt Baldy? I've read that it's at 11,420 which would be 17 feet higher than Baldy. I'm thinking about hiking the Little Colorado route up to that point and I guess with a GPS I can get close to the correct elevation but not right...
