| no partners | | | Headed up from Phoenix in my Prius at around 8:30a, road was bumpy going in - SUV would've been nice. Stepping out of the car, clear day 64 degrees; definitely happy we brought big hats though because we were completely exposed the whole day. Anyways, this was my first time out with my new Garmin 64s GPS and it proved to be invaluable! Starting out the trail was easy to follow but once we reached the creak things started to get confusing. There was a group of college kids in front of us who led us the wrong way, but checking my GPS got us back on track. The river was flowing pretty good so we made a note that we could filter water from there on the way back (note: definitely bring a filter!). Around this point and up to the top you have a great view of Weaver's Needle. Ascending Battleship Mountain there were a lot of very helpful cairns, just be prepared for a scramble most of the way. We got to the summit around 1:30pm and ate lunch. The hike down was uneventful except for rolling my ankle pretty bad 1/3 of the way back. Beautiful sites all around, definitely recommend! |
