| partners | | for our second hike, we went to SARA park trailhead
linda had done a hike that took in some of the established trails, and she put together another loop for a few additional miles
we set out on the yellow trail, which follows a wash into sara's crack, a fun little slot canyon
there were a couple of downclimbs, one rope assisted slide and an interesting drop off a chockstone
narrow canyon walls with smooth pink rock
this opened up and we continued to the colorado river near balanced rock
looped back on the blue trail, but detoured onto another trail that contoured up a drainage to the backside of lizard peak
we hit the high point, then dropped to a saddle to the north and followed the ridgeline to another high point
one place with some exposure that we found a way around and the rest was straightforward
we saw a guy descend from the north end of the ridgeline, so we did that rather than retrace our steps
back to the wash, we eventually found the watershed loop trail and took that down to pilot rock
good trail, some on old roadbed, nice scenery
took a break at pilot rock, then continued on the loop linda drew up
we ended up taking another route that looked more interesting, eventually reconnecting with the original plan
finished up on the red trail, which i preferred to walking back in the wash
lots of trails in this section, some were official blm trails and some were mountain biking trails
good views of the river, mines to check out, washes to cross, green rolling hills and cool rock formations
we covered a good sample, but there are a lot more options
my favorites were sara's crack and lizard peak ridgeline
loved seeing something new
great hike, thanks for inviting me along, linda!
fun day  |
