I began my 13.1 mile hike at 6:38 AM, at the Grandview Trailhead at 7,400 feet elevation. From there it was 3 miles to the Cottonwood Creek Trail junction on Horseshoe Mesa. It took me 2 hours and 13 minutes to get there. The elevation drop was about 2,516 feet. It was 8:52 AM, when I began hiking the Cottonwood Creek Trail to the Tonto Trail. That was 1.6 miles to the junction. At 10:06 AM, I had arrived at the Tonto Trail. From the trailhead it had taken me 3 hours and 27 minutes to get there.
