Did this hike w/ fellow HAZers Cactuscat, Ally, and Arizonaheat. We started at the turn-off from Peralta Road to the Carney Springs T/H in the dark. We went up to West Boulder Saddle, watched the sunrise then dropped down into the canyon. Bushwhacked and crawled through the canyon all the way to Adolph Ruths corral, took a lunch break at Willow Springs, and eventually intersected the Dutchman Trail. From there we hiked to our shuttle vehicle at the First Water T/H. Afterwards, we all celebrated over pizza and ice cold beers at Panhandlers Pizza off Hwy 60. All in all it was one of the most fun, and rewarding hiking days I've had. Now I just can't wait to see what stories and nicknames surface about me!! I only recommend this hike to the truly adventurous at heart with a down and dirty sense of fun... not for the weak-willed, or casual day-hikers.
