Finishing off a segment of Gentry and Turkey Creek I had yet to do with a mile in Open Draw as well.
I was originally going to drive to the intriguingly named “Alcatraz Point” but it made more sense to park where I did for a solid loop.

Even above 7000’ it just seemed downright warm outside today and I had to take a couple more breaks than usual because my dog was feeling that AZ sun.

Gentry was much drier than I hoped but luckily the sections that did have water were nice big perennial pools that my dog and I both cooled off and refueled in.

The overall loop between Gentry and Turkey was a bit rougher than I had imagined, a lot of deadfall to negotiate and with logs, rocks and rollers for days but nothing too horrible.
Plenty of easy segments also complete with scenic Coco Sandstone and plenty of wildlife!

As always a great day in Rim Country.
