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.
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.
Clouds build and threaten in the morning, but eventually the sun gets through part-time.
I saw a javelina in the morning, and several rabbits and jackrabbits through the day, not seen much earlier on the trip. A few cows are grazing, likely kept to a small number on this vegetation. Later in the day the hills flatten out, and vegetation changes somewhat– the saguaros see to prefer slopes, and more thorny bushes grow here.
