About this event
Picket Post Loop Trail. Rating: B. Pace: Moderate [530, 06:00 AM, $15]. This scenic trail loops around Picket Post Mountain near Superior, AZ. The first half of the hike features an undulating desert landscape with large saguaros and granite formations, against the backdrop of the towering and colorful cliffs of Picket Post Mountain. The second half journeys through Telegraph Canyon, a seasonal wetland with grasses, perennials, and a canopy of giant cottonwood and willow trees, perhaps one of the best riparian habitats in southern Arizona. We will pass ancient grinding holes, and boulders a hundred feet in diameter that have fallen from the shear cliffs above. Although classified as an easy B level hike according to distance, the accumulated gain is moderate, making this suitable for any strong C-level hiker. See video, https://www.relive.cc/view/vMv8QLD1yNO After the hike, we will go to a BBQ restaurant in Superior for lunch. Hike 9.1 miles; trailhead elevation 2400 feet; net elevation change 482 feet; accumulated gain 787 feet; RTD 146 miles.
