Ridge Trail to Juniper Flats

 HIKE BISBEE RIDGE TO JUNIPER FLATS

Join the Muleteam this Saturday for THE BEST views of Old Bisbee! This socially distanced hike is 6.33 miles round trip. The hike starts up Clawson Ave. to High Road and then on to the City Trail and Ridge Trail. The most challenging section is climbing up to the Ridge Trail, where some light rock scrambling is required. You will be rewarded with the views, which get better and better as you ascend!  We will hike up and down the ridges overlooking town and lower Wildcat Canyon all the way to Juniper Flats. We'll eat lunch at the pagoda and enjoy the view. The return is ALL downhill, walking on Juniper Flats Rd. to West Blvd. and back down to Tombstone Canyon. Bring water, lunch, walking poles optional, dogs welcome.  Back early afternoon. 

Meet Nov. 21 at 9 a.m. by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain (compliance with City mask policy required). Free. For more details contact Susan Mayes at 610-220-5287.

BACKTRACK - McEntee Drop with added warm-up hike – 

"The backwards hike" (down then up at the end):

Eighteen hikers in toto hiked with me down and back up the canyon which leads to the canyon which leads to the cave house followed by the scheduled hike to McEntee Drop. Most were somewhat impressed by the scenic lunch location overlooking the Bisbee Grand Canyon. Following lunch we hiked back up to the cars parked at the road up to the second towers. The hike was 6 miles and about 1300 feet vertical and 4 3/4 hours duration. It looks like this:
