| partners | | This was my fourth of five-day hikes in this first time visit, remote area of the Salome Wilderness Boundary area (six full days available to off-trail hike/explore this interesting area with a total of eight days stay.. two of which were driving to/from and setup/take down/pack camp).
It pays "big time" to have the flexibility to vehicle camp for multiple days in a new (to us) remote, difficult to get to, Wilderness Area like this one to off-trail hike explore!  and I am very humbled having the opportunity to do so.
Due to serious winds, rain, (with some needed cleanup around camp) this prior 10/15 early evening and overnight into this 10/16 morning, we started our planned day hike at 11:15am to survey all the old two track roads "past" the Park Tank Ranching Gate on FR2752. Hiking past this FR2752 ranching gate at Park Tank included us hiking the extension of FR2752 to its road end where continuing Circle Ranch TR #55 leaves the road and starts its route to the Circle Ranch TH off of Hwy 288.
Prior-to hiking this FR2752 extension to its end, we first hiked a short section of it to a Right Turn X with another, un-numbered 1.3ml one way two track that first headed South, then WNW, then South again to dead end at a very remote, heavy forested area with an interesting campsite location..most likely better suited for seasonal hunters who may desire to be away from everything.
Today's hike was an awesome choice for a rainy, muddy day after, and a great way for us to have a better understanding of what went where in this very remote, less visited & less hiked area of our Tonto National Forest. |
