  • Pace: 1.75-2 MPH

9:20 on Wenas Road 100 feet east of Black Canyon Road, on the turnoff to the south, use Google maps and this link https://maps.app.goo.gl/2uqPY6xN5BT9b7pn8 or these coordinates   46.833517, -120.711889

 

I haven't been on any of our route  https://caltopo.com/m/3HR9B  I have no idea what we will see, it's an adventure for me. It's almost entirely a loop with varied terrain and ecosystems at a good time of the year for flowers. There could be ticks and rattlesnakes.
