MRT/GET 2021 Day 32, May 6, Thursday
• Start 28280 Red Canyon, beyond Apache Kid Wilderness
• End 30070 about to start Milligan Hills XC
• Miles walked: 25.0
Starting up Red Canyon, still on the Apache Kid Trail, the route uses switchbacks to gain 2k elevation up to Grassy Lookout with its fine 360 degree views, where the Apache Kid terminates.
MRT/GET 2021 Day 31, May 5, Wednesday
• Start 28050 on Shipman Trail
• End 28280 Red Canyon, beyond Apache Kid Wilderness
• Miles walked: 18.3
Shipman Trail continues to climb, past Myers Spring, crossing talus, past the ridge and the Myers cabin ruin as the trail enters a mild burn area, and down to Nave Spring. All the time I am taking notes for a future trail project, noting a possible group campsite, counting blowdowns (80), and so forth.
MRT/GET 2021 Day 30, May 4, Tuesday
• Start “seg27 detour water’, new bypass for Monticello Box
• End 28050 on Shipman Trail
• Miles walked: 23.8
What happens when you want to travel east, but all the ridges, canyons, and roads are oriented north-south? When you on the GET, you do a lot of cross-country (XC) navigating, going straight up one ridge and down into the drainage, several times in one day.
Starting out, my route does some road walk and then XC to rejoin the main GET route.
