Rice Peak 12.28.13 Trail Run

[Stepmurr]

love the butterfly

There were dozens of these flitting about.

This one let me approach to within two feet as it rested on a branch and slowly opened & closed its wings - quite the nature show

Hmmm. Maybe I should reconsider. It sounds pretty treacherous in the snow. Jeff

I say give it a try, no offense. There will be plenty of people to help and spot you. Ultimately it's your choice.

You will know in advance by looking where your comfort zone is. Yes the last part (1 - 1.5miles) is where you will want to pay attention. Most wives would not be happy on the last part. Fair trail description IMO http://www.experience-az.com/adventures/4wd/ricepeak/ricepeak.html

well Phil I think you should write a thorough review and trip report...

I would suggest making the loop clockwise, also. If there is ice on that section (more shaded), I'd rather be going uphill than down. The North 1/2 is easier and gets more sunshine.

I will do that.

I'm just happy to have people to go out with! I'm sick of not being able to try harder trails because I can't find anyone who can or will go out.

I hope I'm not being pushy and inviting myself before officially joining up.

Nonsense, invite youself, you are welcome. CSC is just an organized bunch of unorganized enthusiasts.

I'll be the first to bail out if it gets icey.

Amen!

 

[Crusader22]

My kind of people!

My brother and I will be there.
