… I really need to start hiking with a GPS. 😦
I set out into the Arizona desert with typically vague details I found online.
Dead Burro Canyon Trail is a loop hike for the adventurous around a mountain block through a deep scenic canyon in Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, a wilderness setting where very few trails exist. Look for wild burro and Bighorn sheep! …
As expected, I was quickly lost.
One wash looks much like the next.
On the other hand, I enjoyed a solo morning off trail. It’s all good in the desert outside Lake Havesu, Arizona in February.
I dropped a Summit Stone atop one random stone mountain.
The highlight was finally spotting wild burros. LIVE ones.
There were over 2000 of these beautiful animals running wild in Arizona as of 2010. They are regulated by the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971.
If you actually want to reach Dead Burro Canyon, my advice is to download the GPS track.
