Late Summer Early Fall 2010
(Trail Pooch Team, Wicket and Noel, Posting from Prescott, Arizona)
Hike date 09/18/2009; White Spar Road area south of Prescott and east of the first entrance to Ponderosa Park.
Hello Trailpooch visitors. Here are three shots from a short walk into the woods south of Prescott. This trail is an easy access area off White Spar Road. You can pick it up just south of School House Gulch Rd and Trail 396.
Notice the first signs of fall draped in red across the rock.
Wicket in the thicket cruising along the trail through late summer flowers still in bloom. This is a nice narrow canyon with ample vegetation. In my opinion, the trail that runs through here ranks moderate to easy for for the first mile then it begins to test your stamina a bit more.
This day, Wicket and I decided to cut back over the hill to White Spar Road on an old and barely visible jeep road from many years back. It runs west out of the canyon we were in. Up the hill, about an 1/8 of a mile, this obscure path ties into a fairly well traveled off road vehicle road. We travel over this road for about a 1/4 of a mile south until we reach another barely visible jeep road that drops down to White Spar Road and the Ponderosa Park entrance to the west. Over all I'd guess the round trip distance to be about 2.5 miles from where we park and pick up the trail on White Spar Rd. This in the area where Wicket gave chase to bobcat kittens in 2009. He was about one and half years of age at the time. While it has been uncommon for us to see Bobcats in this area, it is quite common to see Mule Deer. Heck, one time Wicket even mixed it up with a mother Turkey a mile further up the trail. He's a sweet pooch and everybody's friend. He just doesn't know that some people and some animals out there don't care for trail pooches. He gets reminded of this on occasion.
Well Trail Pooch Teams, thanks for checking us out again. Wicket and I hope you've been out there living it. Until next time, "Happy Trails" and always remember to "Live Free, Live Wild".
Wicket and Noel
