GRAPEVINE RIPARIAN FREEHIKE

Saturday, October 3, 2016, we freehiked with three NAZ members from Tucson and Las Vegas.  They had traveled especially for this weekend.  We first freehiked our land in Dewey, AZ; they were of course amazed by the trail.  Then we drove south about ½ hour to freehike the Grapevine Riparian area, near Mayer, AZ.  This was a fantastic area for freehiking, as can be seen by the photos below.  Most of the trail was in cool shade, and many springs added wonderful views of streams below the trail.  Several ponds were large enough to soak in, but the water was very cold.  We recommend this freehiking area to all NAZ members; maybe we’ll visit again in a week or so.  Anyone interested?
