On the 24th, my son and sister are scheduled to be hiking Segment # 27 Blue Ridge. The route goes across East Clear Creek. Given the rain this weekend, and just in case the creek is un-cross-able, is there a "walk-around" you can suggest? Thanks, Gary Screenshot from 2025-10-11 10-07-14.pn...

My son and my sister will be hiking SOBO from the South Rim in mid-October. Originally , the plan was for them to camp just south of the Snowbowl parking lot, and I would bring needed supplies down to them for the night. But, I really wasn't looking forward to that mile walk down carrying food, wate...

I am planning a fall SOBO AZT hike for my son. I'm going to be the "trail angel", hauling water, snacks and food for him. One of the places I'm meeting him at is in Segment #34, San Francisco Peaks, where the trail crosses FR 523, at coordinates 35.455773 -111.692698. I've driven FR 523 in...

@TooOld2Hike_EP I have three "sun-hoodies". All from OR (Outdoor Research). The fabric is VERY light and breathable. I purposely got the long sleeve, to protect my arms from sunburn. The hoodie helps block sun on my neck and ears. It's so light, when I'm wearing it, I can hardly feel it. ...

Hello,

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I remember a limit to the number of waypoints in a file. Fifty? Or, is the limit the number of waypoints in ALL the downloaded files?

Thanks for any help,
Gary

My wife and I drove to the Gila Valley the morning of 2/7. I've driven the Kearny/Winkelman route three times too many, and didn't want to repeat it yet again. So we drove up the Beeline Hwy - Mesa to Hwy 87 to Hwy 188 to Globe. Very nice. All of the 87 is four lanes, and the 188 is an easy two lane...

Thanks for the tip. I've hiked the Mormon LOOP trail lots of times, but never the actual Mormon Trail itself.

I can't count the number of times I've hiked on South Mountain, and I've never seen a chuckwalla. Just a single rattlesnake; lots of coyotes, but no chuckwallas. Am I blind or just... unobservant?

My daughter wants to overnight in the western Superstitions. We're looking at Indian Paint Mine on the Second Water Trail. Are there one or two 2-person tent sites in that area?
Thanks.

Yes, I agree. It is over. I'm doing some long range planning for Fall Break - that time of year. Thanks for helping. I really appreciate it.

What I can see on Route Editor using satellite view, it looks promising. Thanks for the quick response!

My son wants to take his girlfriend on an overnight hike. I thought Peralta to First Water with an overnight along the way would be a fairly easy hike for a newbie. But... Where to camp? The plan is, after work on a Friday, drive out to Peralta trailhead, and hike up to and past Fremont Saddle. Do y...
