Outdoor Fix

We noticed many cars parked just off US Hwy 60 and hikers making their way up Silly Mountain.  There is a trail head that goes straight up the west side of this mountain, elevation 2,139 feet. The trail is easy to navigate with great scenery. It's only a climb of 400 feet elevation to the summit.


Easy Botanical Walk
It is supposed to be a great hike for beginners although it has some tricky spots. We climbed a mere 400 feet in elevation to the summit. This time we came prepared with a walking sticks and a backpack full of water.

Easy to Moderate Trails
Leroy and John tried geocaching (hide and seek using GPS coordinates) on the hike but failed to produce any treasures.  Trinkets are hidden "Arizona style", mostly under rocks.

Ha! Old Huff & Puff
It was an easy hike.  Our next hike should be the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
