(A***) Mule Ears
About this event
Mule Ears via Mt. Lemmon Rating: A***. Pace: Moderate [ 06:00 AM, $13]. This is a difficult hike to a prominent point on the Samaniego Ridge with outstanding views in all directions. Starting from the top of Mt. Lemmon, we take the Mt. Lemmon Trail and Samaniego Ridge Trail to Walnut Spring and back. The last 3 miles to Walnut Spring/ Mule Ears is sometimes very brushy and difficult to follow. A short bushwhack up to Mule Ears will be included. This about 3 mile bushwhack adds significant difficulty to the hike because of the lack of a trail, dense brush to be negotiated, and the boulder scrambling involved. Including the bushwhack to the peak raises the rating of this hike to an A*** Defensive clothing and gloves are required, especially for the bushwhack portion. Hike about 15 miles; trailhead elevation 9100 feet; net elevation change 2000 feet; accumulated gain about 3000 feet; RTD 131 miles.
