The Ballantine Trail - Mazatzal Mountains

I started my 12.1 mile round-trip hike at 8:06 AM, on the Pine Creek Trail. After 33 minutes I reached the junction of the Ballantine Trail. From there it was 2.1 miles to Boulder Flat. I got there at 10:10 AM. It had taken me 2 hours and 4 minutes to get there from the trailhead. From there it was 1.8 miles to the loop junction of an unnamed trail. I got there at 11:45 AM. After hiking 6.1 miles counterclockwise on the loop I turned back. The trail was taking too long. It was 12:30 PM, when I started back after a short break. I got back to Boulder Flat at 2:20 PM, and then I reached my car at 4:09 PM. My hike took me 8 hours and 4 minutes.

 

Mount Wrightson - Santa Rita Mountains

I started my 10.9 mile round-trip hike at 8:02 AM. From the trailhead it took me 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach the Josephine Saddle. That was 2.5 miles. Then it was 2 miles to the Baldy Saddle. That took 1 hour and 50 minutes. Next was the hike to the 9-456-foot summit. That was 1 mile, and that took me about 1 hour. It was 1:53 PM when I stood on the summit. Then I was back at my car at 3:08 PM. My hike took me 7 hours and 5 minutes.
