It was supposed to be a longer hike but we knew heading out that we were going to new unexplored places. This took us a little farther to the north side of Graham from the town of Pima. We wanted to find one of two trailheads there and didn’t really care which one. So one was supposed to be past the Cluff Ranch (we were there several days ago). But I missed a turn and ended up at a dead end. No problem, it was near the second trailhead road so we went down there. Until we got to a gate labeled private property no trespassing. The trail on the map was farther down the road. OK, so much for that trail. It was a very nice ride out a gravel road through more open country.
Back to Cluff Ranch and this time we found the trail. Well, actually we found where the road deteriorated into a 4 wheeler road that would lead to the trail. We hiked up that for 1.3 miles until we got to a creek ford that was too deep to cross with dry feet. It was a cold windy day, 55 degrees and 30 mph wind. Didn’t want wet feet. Short hike.
Back to camp and an afternoon of relaxation. Actually it was 2:30 when we got back. Catching up on some emails and reading.
