Again to get there say from Goldfield Ghost Town head right on Hwy 88 (Apache Trail) until you hit E Lost Dutchman Blvd turn right this road turns into Brown Road, follow it until you get to N Ellsworth just before Hwy 202 again take a right follow the road down it will turn into N User Pass Rd you will come to a stop sign at the Bush Hwy again turn right take this all the way to the E User water parking lot. It is also on the right side just before the road binds North. Once in the parking lot go to the left for trailer parking. There are trails all over the place from here.
There were 20 of us on this ride from our camp |
Love this shot Ron got of his horse with Alan , his mule Foxy and dog Pinky |
Ron set up his Go Pro Hero 3 camera and I wifi a shot from my iphone so we could get all of us in the shot |
Second shot with the camera from the wifi on my iphone |
Heading out on the trail this is the North Dakota gang |
We ride the Salt river out until be get to the ranch |
Just before the Saguaro Lake Ranch |
Saguaro Lake Ranch |
Here are the cute little cottages at the Saguaro Lake Ranch |
You don't have to be a guest at the ranch to rent a horse for a trail ride |
We head up past the ranch until you get to the Dam |
Just before the Dam you will see a trail going to the left up the hillside. Take this trail all the way up over the lake views. Just before you get to the Bush Hwy you will see a trail to the left follow that and then cross the hwy.
Start of trail before Dam |
This trail climbs up before it evens out for the lake views |
Looking down at lake below |
More of the trail above the lake |
The views |
Wagons Ooh |
Here are a couple shots above the Marina at the lake (North Dakota gang again) |
Getting close to where we make a left turn on the trail |
After crossing Bush Hwy |
Once we crossed the hwy we took the sand draw to a trail followed the trail until it forked we took the right fork. (If you take the left fork and stay left you will go down a sand draw and through the tunnels under hwy. once through the tunnels go right and you are back at the parking lot.) We took the right fork this took us on a longer ride up the trail (above picture and picture below) then we came into another sand draw that we followed all the way back to the Salt river.
Yes a picture of me on Hunter above and below |
Going down the sand draw |
Beautiful rock formations |
Look me again LOL |
Almost at the River |
Lunch on the Salt River |
