Tonto Wagon Trail.
Details
Please read carefully. This is not an easy hike, but it is a fun one!
This is a neat little hike near an Old section of the original Apache Trail. AKA Tonto Wagon trail. Starting at 0700 am, we will hike up a wash for a while, enter a really cool canyon and proceed up stream till we get blocked by large boulders. We will make our way through these boulders by crawling slithering and any which way we can. We will be boulder hopping most of the way and there will be some bushwhacking, climbing ,and scrambling. We may have to wade in a few spots.
