Sierra Ancha-Reynolds Creek June 30+ July 1st
Posted: Jun 18 2007 5:43 pm
the last trip to Peterson Ranch and up Aztec Peak was such a great time, we have decided to make another trek into the ol' Sierra Ancha (Wide Mountain) wilderness to search for some pristine forests and views.
We start at the Reynolds Creek trail #150 and travel past the wonderful Knoles Hole until we reach the 3.5 mile mark at the Murphy Ranch trail #141. Continuing on we will skirt around the north side of Aztec Peak (which is mis-named, its actually a Mesa) until we reach the junction with the Rim Trail #139. Taking Rim trail North until we reach the terminus at Edward's Spring with good water and nice camp sites. The Edward's spring area has amazing views into the rugged canyons below. The hike in is estimated to be 6.4 miles one way- with water and abundant shade for the most part, in an area that begs exploration. If you have any questions or suggestions, get in here! we're all ears...
If you havent been on a HAZ group hike, now is a great time to sign up!
