None of us had hiked this loop in years. The

time I remember, this wash was an easy hike,

mostly on gravel. We soon encountered change

terrain from past flooding. We came to a narrow

passage between some house size rocks.

Hmm.....the drop off looked about 12 ft to me. W

removed our packs and one of us scrambled, m

like slid and bumped and jumped on the way do

Not something we were coming back up. At le

not easily. The packs were transferred down.

We were to encounter 3 more places that the

flooding had drastically changed the trail. All h

to be maneuvered in some method. Either rock

scrambling or in one case we had to climb up an

around since the drop was too high.

Along the way we commented, the trail down

the Grand Canyon can't be this bad.

It was a great hike, and even better condition

We eventually came to the east side of Kraft M

tain. We followed the trail up out of the wash an

veered south. We followed a ridge above the wa

that was now winding it's way south and off to

left. We wound through a level area strewn with

huge rocks that presumably rolled down off Kra

Mountain. Many of these rocks the size of hous

sport or just practice. Evidence everywhere of

We passed through the field of giant stones.

Havasupai Falls Conditioning Hike.

Saturday 3/6/2010 the couple of us from LasVegas going on the Havasupai backpack trip thiscoming April, did another "conditioning hike"with full backpacks at 30 lbs of weight.

For this weeks prep trip we decided on the KraftMountain loop. This is an area west of Las Vegas.Just east of the Red Rock Park13 mile loop area.Instead of entering the paid area of Red Rock wetook another road into the Calico Springs area. Anarea with a small community of private homes, aswell as another section of Red Rock Park known

as the Board Walk Trail, at Red Springs.

We tightened up our straps, threw the packs onand headed out due west. It was a cool day, in theow 50's, mostly overcast. This hike to be about

4.5 miles.

With our packs we knew it wouldn't be a walkin the park. We stopped several times. Our T-shirts started taking on some sweat so the stopshad to be short to avoid taking on a chill from thecool 50 degree air.

Near the summit we looked off to the east andcould just barley catch a glimpse of the tops of afew of the larger buildings back in Las Vegas. Wetook a short break and some water, then droppeddown over the north slope to the wash below.

We headed from the road west to the base of thered sandstone cliffs (Keystone Thrust Fault) jut-ting up from the desert floor. We immediatelydropped in a rocky wash (Desert stream bed nor-mally dry) and was delighted to find running wa-ter. We continued due west a short distance andpicked up the trail we wanted. At this trail inter-section we veered north.

After about a mile of skirting the residentialarea we once again dropped into the same wash,but further up stream from our previous point. Wecrossed over at an area of steep washed out banks.

Though at this time the water was only 2 feetwide. We enjoyed a gurgling small waterfall thatcascaded over a huge chunk of red sandstone. Thewater clear enough to invite drinking if you didn'thave to worry about parasites and those othernasty little things.

Following the trail up out of the wash westarted a rather steep climb of about 1 mile thatwould take us over a "pass" or "saddle" betweentwo peaks. This trail would pass the west side ofKraft Mountain in into yet another wash. This newwash would then swing us around the backside,

and the east side of Kraft Mountain.

Saddle

Trail

N

Kraft Mtn

Elevation gain to summit the saddle is around1000ft. It was definitely a workout. We saw otherswith no packs, stopping along the way to take

breathers.

We snaked down a trail that took us througha sandstone slot of white, pink and red strippedcolors. The slot cut through the stone by waterover perhaps millions of years? It had created

beautiful ribbons of color that curved around

corner after corner until we reached the washbelow. A slight trickle of water flowed evennow. That water fell into the gravel wash, in-stantly disappearing from sight. From severalfeet away, no trace of water was even remotely

visible.

We were now in the 2nd wash. We took a right

turn and headed east. This wash was wide in

places. Narrow at some. Huge rocks and steep

walls. As we hiked we saw evidence of past

flooding. Debris and dead vegetation hung up on

rocks high above our heads. Indications every-

where the water had come gushing through here

25 to 30 feet deep. These washes are no place to

be when there is a chance of rain. Water comesso fast it may be impossible to get out quickly

enough. Death is the outcome for some.

We eventually made it back to the vehicle and s

our packs. We sat back and enjoyed a bottle of

water and the beautiful area surrounding us.

We can hardly wait to see the Grand Canyon

FOUNTAIN HILLS GREAT FAIR

Scottsdale, Arizona February 26th, 2010

Now in its 23rd year, this three day fair attracts

nearly 500 artists and over 200,000 visitors.

Be sure to mark your calendars for the November

Fair November 12,13,14, 2010

Official sponsor of the fair is the Fountain Hills

Chamber of Commerce.

TOPOGEAR stumbled into Dave Bruce and hiscreations Weathered Wonders at the Fountain

Hills Art Fair. (Fountain Hills, AZ).We were immediately drawn to the odd shaped,

colorful birdhouses displayed within his booth.His unique use of raw materials showed quite theimagination. Dave uses recycled material, perhapsgoing green before the word became the catch

phrase that it is today.

Attached to his whimsical creations you willfind a perch made from a faucet, a silver pie

server, a fork, the list is endless.

Dave was a warm person, easy to talk with. Wepaused to enjoy his booth. Before we moved on tothe other booths Dave shared some of his life

story.

As odd as his creations, Dave found it odd hissource of material was drying up. It seems thedownturn in the economy and the lull in the home

building market, is creating less buildings beingdemolished. In the past older properties with oldfences being upgraded for resale created an abun-dant source for his raw material...old weathered

wood.

Dave Bruce can be contacted at:

Email [email protected]

Cell: 602 576-7376

WEATHERED WONDERS

The main streets were closed off to traffic and10x10 white tent canopied booths lined both sides.

You could find anything from Kettle Corn, to FineArt, and great music.

We hit the fair as soon as some Artists startedopening. We were glad we did. Later in the daythe crowd became rather dense making it difficultto even view the booths on the opposite side of the

walkways.

We enjoyed art and jewelry made from oldsilverware, artists working in glass, metals, stoneand numerous other materials. One of the jewelrybooths interested us. Custom designed silver jew-elry from designers working with silversmiths ofTaxco, Mexico. Their trade handed down through

generations.

We drifted by Photographers. Many movingtheir art from paper onto metal and other medi-ums. Artists working in the strangest of materials.Another selling magnetic bookmarkers. The

bookmarker booth was swamped with buyers.

When you tired there were plenty of foodbooths to stop, taste and rest up for more walking.The lake off to the east and just down a small hillfrom the fair added to the whole effect. On thehour the Fountainwould shoot its column of waterhigh into the air. The fountain capable of shoot-ng water 560 feet into the air. This would last for

15 minutes. The lake is surrounded with a golfcourse looking manicure of green grass.

The homes across the water blending perfectlyinto the hillside terrain. Nearly invisible, backdropped in the far distance with beautiful snow

capped mountain tops.

It is hard to imagine Fountain Hill exists withinthe Sonoran Desert of Arizona. Shade tree aroundthe lake offer a perfect picnic place. Ducks paddle

about with a happy quack, perfectly content.

We were reluctant to pack our things and headfor home. Planning on returning for the Novem-

ber Fair.
