New Hike Today

We did a new hike today, the Siphon Draw Trail. The hike leaves from the Lost Dutchman State Park. It's 2 miles each way, 4 miles total, and gains over 1000' along the way. The "siphon draw" is the canyon that the hike goes into. The end of the hike is a large slick rock area. From there hikers can continue up a very steep and unmaintained trail to a feature called the Flatiron. That is the area of the tragic plane crash on Thanksgiving eve. We hiked to the slick rock area and then turned back.
