June 19th - Holbert trail + Dobbins Ext (5.5 miles, 1000ft)
This week I had done my research and was all set with the trail I wanted to hike.
I hiked holbert trial in south mountain. This is is a nice trail. It starts out flat but then gradually starts picking up elevation. This trail provides good workout.
Here are some details on the trail:
The trail heads north to the Gila Range over a rumply bajada terrain. Hikers should watch for petroglyphs on a boulder at mile 0.7. After momentarily joining the road at mile 1, the trail starts a climb up a scenic canyon with unique geological features — a rock cave at about mile 2, and an unusual formation at mile 2.2 near the Dobbins Extension Trail. The Trail ends at the National Trail where it looks at panoramic views of central Phoenix and of San Juan Valley to the west.
Directions
Take baseline exit on I-10 (take a left) and take a left on Central ave
Just 5-10 yards after you pass the park gate, turn a hard left into the Activity/Visitor's Center. The Activity/Visitor's Center has a fairly long parking lot. On this parking lot, drive east till you see some ramadas and some concrete buildings (restrooms).
