Aspen Draw and Lemmon Rock Trails – 2014/5/10

Updated - Posted - Charles Miles

Summerhaven – Turkey Run – Aspen Draw – Radio Ridge – I wonder if the Forest Service or Arizona Historical Society have the brochure that matches the old markers along the trail – it would be fun to hike the trail and read the descriptions…

Up to the Summit Trailhead and then down again – Lemmon – Lemmon Rock – Wilderness of Rock junction – back up the Lemmon Rock Trail.

The Lemmon Rock Lookout slowly gets closer, the wind makes the day feel cool, I hear Peregrine Falcons and my own heartbeat when I take a short break.

I had never done an out and back of the Wilderness of Rocks Trail from the Marshall Gulch Trailhead – beautiful, and more strenuous than I expected! There is flowing water – but as you head west towards the junction with the Lemmon Trail the flow has stopped and only pools remain.
