MULETEAM HIKES THE CREST TRAIL
Join the Muleteam this Saturday to hike the Crest Trail in the Huachuca Mountains. The trail traverses the crest of the mountains from Montezuma Pass to Fort Huachuca. We will park at Montezuma Pass, hike the first three miles, stop for lunch, then hike back. Moderate to easy, with beautiful overlooks. Bring water and a snack/lunch. Back by mid-afternoon. Free. Coronado National Memorial rules require dogs to be leashed on this trail.
Meet April 3 at 9 a.m. by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain. From there we will car-caravan in our separate vehicles to Montezuma Pass (no carpooling at this time). Alternatively, hikers may meet us at the Pass at 10:00 a.m. For more details contact Laura at 206-715-6589.
Hikers are asked to wear masks, with the exception of those who have difficulty with physical exertion while masked. The latter are asked to maintain a six-foot distance from other hikers.

BACKTRACK - Carr Peak
The Forest Service road to the campgrounds at the end of Carr Canyon was in pretty good shape Saturday. The trail to Carr Peak was a mixture of dry earth, rocks, snow, slush and mud. Hiking poles were most helpful. Eleven of the thirteen hikers who met at the Ramsey Vista campground, as well as one dog, made the summit of Carr Peak, where we had lunch enjoying the 360 degree panorama and the close-up view of a snow-covered Miller Peak. It was well worth the hike.- Molly
