    I haven't taken Bloody Basin that way better. I have only stayed to the West of the 17. I would like to adventure off that way some time.

    Ok a brown colored black bear, then. It was almost a blond color. The lightest black bear I have ever seen.

    Yup, but it's always busy with people and we wanted more privacy. Too many mini vans and stock vehicles down there, all usually coming through from Seven Springs.

    So according to the stories I heard from the Cave Creek ranger district, there was a big battle between whites and native Americans at Turret Peak (where we were planning to hike to) back in the mid 1800's. The battle was so bad that they named the area Bloody Basin. There are so many artifacts and ruins up on those mesas, you almost trip over them. They showed me a couple really interesting ruins and there were pottery shards and flint-napped hand tools all over the ground. Supposedly some good arrowheads up there around the peak and battle site.

    What's everybody's favorite AZ landmark or destination? I'm constantly adding to my AZ do list. Also, you guys ever consider a Zion Nat'l Park trip? I know the cool stuff like the wave and subway requires drawing a pass from the lottery but it's still high up on my bucket list. Any thoughts?

    Been to Zion twice, it's an amazing place. I've done several canyons in Zion but would love to go back and do more. You wanna go, lets plan a trip. Do you have any rappelling or climbing experience/gear?

    Do it Phil. Aside from entering the egg first this will be the second best decision of your life.

    Well Zion is a canyoneers paradise, so you must be very experienced and proficient in rappelling, knot tying, as well as rigging. Not sure that is something that could be easily learned in a small amount of time before heading to Zion. But...even if you don't want to do any canyons where rappelling is a must, there are still lots of great hikes in the park and amazing awe inspiring scenery. If you're serious about going, let's set something up for late September or early October.
