I decided to escape the Phoenix heat and head up to Payson with the hiking group for a day hike near Horton Creek. Instead of coming back the same way we went in, we decided to do this as a loop trail.
Here's the group all together and happy before we started.
The trail started with a steep incline - a few people were less happy and it started to spread out the group.
Enjoying the beautiful views.
Crossing Horton Creek was the one part of this trail that I didn't like. It took me forever to walk across these logs.
The rest of the trail followed the water on the way back. It was a great hike.Trail stats:
| Distance Round Trip | 8 miles | |
| Trailhead Elevation | 5460 feet | |
| Elevation Gain | 1600 feet | |
| Avg Time Round Trip | 4-5 hours |
