the hike |
This hike will take us around Mazatzal Peak, 7,884 ft. We will follow the Y Bar Trail
(#44), the Arizona Trail/Mazatzal Divide Trail (#23) and the Barnhardt Trail (#43).
We will hike in a clockwise direction. This is an "A" hike.
This hike is only for very experienced hikers, as it will be a strenuous, full day.
The initial climb will be on a rocky trail and strenuous for the first several miles. We will pass through a small section with a variety of evergreens. This trail provides beautiful views of the Mazatzal Wilderness, and depending on weather, recent rains and snow melt, a rewarding view of the Big Kahuna Waterfall as we descend through Barnhardt Canyon back to the trailhead. This loop hike goes around the mountain named Mazatzal Peak but does not summit the peak. |

You must email the leader to confirm. Please provide your cell phone number when you sign up, in case we need to contact you on the day of the hike. Note: I can’t receive email from people who have Yahoo, as was discovered during the last hike. So I never knew they had sent me an email to sign up. We discovered that those people were also having problems with their email not being received by other people besides me. So there’s some technical glitch going on. |
