Bear Jaw/Waterline/ Inner Basin out and back - 11 miles
Details
Hello Psycho Hikers!!
Its fall foliage time! We will ascend Bear jaw trail which is about 1200 feet in elevation gain and then walk the waterline trail(which is flat and shaded and at a cool 9600 feet altitude) all the way to Inner basin . At Inner basin we can see the aspen forest and hike around as much as the group wants and then turn around and head back. See the route in the attached picture.
This hike will be a moderately paced hike. Dogs welcome.
Directions from Flagstaff: Directions to the Trailhead: Drive northwest of Flagstaff on US 180 for 19.5 miles and turn right on FR 151 (Hart Prairie Rd.). Drive 1.5 mile and turn left on FR 418. Drive 3 miles to FR 9123J. Turn right (south) on FR 9123J and drive 1.2 miles to the trailhead. I would have a medium-high clearance vehicle(Subaru or equivalent) to drive to the TH.
*****If you sign up for the hike please show up or remove yourself from the “going” list before the hike starts. ***
Please bring lots of water, snacks, appropriate hiking shoes, hiking poles if desired, sunscreen, and a good hiking spirit.
