Horse Peak Loop - 7/30/22

Mummy's Nose and Forehead from Horse Peak

Horse Canyon Spring
On Saturday, three of us hiked up to Horse Peak at the top of Horse Canyon off of Macks Canyon Road. We used the right fork this time and climbed up the wash until we hit the peak and its ridge. Coming down, we looped around on the right side ridge climbing over Onyx Peak. Next, we descended a ridge that brought us too far to the west so we found a nice horse trail to help us traverse over to a familiar wash. The entire hike was an adventure as we try every year to learn a little more about this area. Btw, Horse Canyon Spring was filled with a small pool of water and sweet grass around it. Maybe the horses haven't been there this year! The maps below reflect a previous hike. Fun day!

Stats: 4.3 miles; 1300' gain; 3.75 hours
