Having never hiked in the Supes before, I did Lost Dutchman to Bull Pass to the Black Mesa a couple weeks ago. The next week I took the Siphon Draw to Flatiron and Peak 5024. For my 3rd hike I decided on the Ridgeline Trail. We decided to Start up Siphon Draw and end on the Carney Trailhead. Began from the Goldmine Restaurant at 7:00am and made it to the beginning of the Ridgeline Trail in 1.5 hours, not bad. The sights all along the trail are AMAZING! I constantly found myself stopping to take in the views and clear my mind while I soaked up the epicness. The cairns along the way never led us astray. The Trail was fairly easy to follow and when in doubt look around until you see a cairn! Happy when I saw the sign that says Carney T.H. 1.8 miles because my legs were pretty tired by that point. Was smiling the whole way through and when all was said and done and I looked back up at the Supes from the Carney Trailhead, I had a huge sense of accomplishment. An adventure that I would recommend to anyone who loves to hike!
Sidenote: Drank 2.5 liters of water, ate an apple, banana, peanuts, and beef jerky along the way, your legs will get torn up if you wear shorts, don't forget sunscreen |
