Hikers wishing to go to the peak can continue on their own. Bring water and lunch. Dogs welcome. Back mid afternoon. Meet January 10th at 9am by the Old Bisbee Courthouse fountain to carpool (over an hour each way). Free, but gas donation is appreciated.

BACKTRACK - Upper Juniper Flats
15 hikers and two dogs hiked a 5 mile loop up on Juniper Flats. The weather and company made for a pleasurable hike. The eastward path led us along the mountainside with lovely views of Wildcat Canyon, Sulfur Springs Valley backdropped by the Swisshelms and Chiricahuas. We turned off the trail and traversed a path down into the lower valley where we stopped to lunch among a camp ruin. After lunch the group followed the switch backs leading to the middle road leading below to the Second tower road where we parked.
