My group was hiking this south to north coming from Kelvin, AZ in our traverse of sections 16 and 17 of the AZ Trail. The views were great as we walked through rolling hills while Picket Post would poke it's head out every once in a while on the horizon. Saw a white tail deer too! There was water at the rain collector so we topped off our water supply via a filter. All ascents/descents weren't too steep making going up or down a joy. Definitely enjoyed our time out on the trail.
