Already in Oracle on an errand I made the long drive out to the Davis Spring Trailhead stopping along the way to admire the snow covered peaks in the distance. The road to Davis Mesa seemed to be in about the same condition as previous trips – although the last few miles were muddier than expected. (A 4wd vehicle is recommended for this drive!)

The long drive didn’t leave much time to hike – past the surprisingly still standing trail sign, flowing water at Davis Spring, a full tank at the corral and down into Edgar Canyon – upstream along the water, downstream in the fallen Sycamore leaves – time to go…
