Horse Peak Loop Exploration #2 - 8/29/20

Dead Tree Photo on Horse Peak
Today's hike was the second exploration of an intended loop that includes Horse Peak, the peak that rises at the top of Horse Canyon off of Macks Canyon Road. The simple loop is one that climbs to the peak then descends down through the already familiar Sisters Spur Road and wash. This leads back to Macks Canyon Road and out. Rita and I will do a series of explorations that will give us knowledge of the canyons and ridges that lie between the two 4WD roads. Then we hope to make a loop hike that will challenge and entertain hikers using some of the routes we have discovered. On today's route, we discovered a few game trails that would be very useful. There seems to many of these in this area. Until next exploration, happy hiking!

Stats: 6.1 miles; 1650' gain; 4 hours
