| partners | | From LF Ranch / East Verde River, AZT #25 heads mostly NNW for about 11 miles and then NNE for a mile or so and then SW for 5 miles - the wrong way if heading for Utah!
For a few years I’d been thinking there should be a way to cut across Rock Creek and Alder Ridge to East Tank from Saddle Ridge near peak 4895. This would chop out that 5 mile SW section and shorten the trail by 3 or 4 miles! Sometime last year Shawn mentioned the same idea.
We scouted a route from Saddle Ridge across Rock Creek. Shawn had previously scouted the route on Alder Ridge. It looks like a great “short cut” off-trail route but probably won’t be the official trail anytime soon but perhaps one day.
Saw two thru hikers: Endless and QB (Queen Bee) who were completing Superior to Pine in 6 days! |
