Sagebrush personal hiking blog
Trail angel MJ brings me back to the trailhead after a substancial breakfast, and hiking starts around 9.
Our route goes up Reavis Canyon, crossing the stream several times.
The trees at the bottom of Gila River Canyon, manzanita and willow and some mesquite, are not very green yet like the canyon walls. Perhaps it is the types of trees, or maybe they get less sunlight until the sun goes higher in the season.
The route leaves the Gila River and starts climbing into some truly splendid high canyons. The route is different than on the Grand Enchantment Trail, which explains why it all seems new to me.
After some road and trail the route goes up a ridge between two great washes, or arroyos as we would say in New Mexico.
At the top are 360 views of mountains, canyons, and a copper mine.
