Awesome Photo Journal!

That boyscout troop made tons of mistakes. Who hikes the GC during a major heat wave? Those scout leaders, Blah.

I just bought the HAWG, and it's great for bikes, but I would not use it for dayhiking. Myabe look into the CamleBak RimRunner?

I can't watch it right now because I'm at work, but what part of Arizona was the guy from survivor man in?

That was a pretty neat show. He had used some stuff to make things that I see every day while hiking in the Sky Islands that I would never have thought of using. I was very happy with that show.

But he did some very unnecessary things while he was there haha

Sounds great, I like that it's on the weekend. I work with the Forest Service down here so if there is ever any work on the SVRD, I'll definitely be there. But if it's outside of FS boundaries, then I would still like to join. Let me know!

I am new to the area, and I have over 1,200 hours of trail building experience, including some on the AZ trail. However i am new to this area on southern AZ and I am not familiar with the location that you are talking about. About how far away would that be from Sierra Vista?

A conservation crew out of Flagstaff (CREC) picked up all the trash back in Nov. I am a ranger here on the Forest and love the area. I only wish I could hike the trails on work time haha. I think I will enjoy my hike this weekend. I can't believe how nice the weather is this time of year in Southern...

Smuggelers do come through here, however I have been backpacking a bit around here and have yet to see any. Also I work for the USFS here and out LEOs tell me it's really not anything to worry about. Their like snakes, they'll only bother you if you bother them :p

Btw, I'm not just a newbie that's posting and then gonna go away. I'm planin on staying on the forum, I like the amount of people on here with their knowledge. Although I am a newbie right now with a bad avatar, I won't be a noob for too long :p

What is your favorite hike in the Huachucas? I am planning on starting out at Montezuma Pass and hiking to Miller Peak and back on Saturday. I am trying to hike every trail in the Huachucas by the end of this year. So far I have done maybe 20%. But I am looking for a great trail to do on Saturday. A...

Sounds great! But I'm a bit out of the way

Let me know if you're ever down in the Huachucas or the Chiricahuas though!

Hmmm. Just interesting that they would be from AZ. To work for ACE, you actually have to pay ACE a deposit. Then you get it back at the end of your term. I have never heard of anyone in the states willing to do that. However, the crew leaders are from AZ. Maybe that's who she was talking to?

They were from a non-profit outfit called ACE: American Conservation Experience, which has been doing trail work in the Canyon for some time. My son worked for them for a short time. From what he tells me they get a lot of mostly European volunteers who are willing to come over here and get free ro...

Nope, he's never been out of the east coast. I have lived in Arizona for many years, mostly in and around the Flagstaff area. I just moved down here to the Sierra Vista area and I love it. But, never been here in March so I don't know how the weather will be. I'm hoping the Chiricahuas will not have...

I'm wondering because a friend is coming to visit around mid to late march and I figured what better place to take someone that has never been to the West before than the Chiricahuas. We are planing either a 4 or a 5 night backpacking trip, with plans to camp in both higher and lower evaluations. On...
