| partners | | Spent our extended weekend exploring Little Blue Creek, Dutch Blue and Hannah Springs Creek. Left Phoenix early Friday morning and arrived at Fritz XXX Ranch before noon. Then grabbed our gear and headed up the Blue River. Eventually making it to Little Blue Creek we continued upstream and camped near the Hannah Springs Canyon confluence. I made a quick trip up to the hot springs with the remaining daylight.
Next day was all day hike exploring several areas including Dutch Blue Creek, White Rocks Cabin and some narrows. Also, found a nice overland route between canyons connecting Dutch Blue and Little Blue presumably old horse trails that were surprisingly well cairned. After exploring the canyons and narrows we made our way back to Hannah Hot Springs to wrap up the day hike. Had a soak and a beverage to enjoy the scenery before heading back to camp.
After another great night of camping we headed out Sunday morning at a leisurely pace. Took our time enjoying Little Blue Creek and also a beaver pond on the Blue River which was built up about 4 to 5 feet high in some spots. Made it back to the vehicle before 2pm and drive back to Phoenix. Great trip again in the Blue Primitive Area!
