<div>I am thinking about going down this weekend to bike and hike...maybe hit the Stronghold for climbing beforehand. Any good tales of the Chiricahua's? </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://SkyIslands.tribe.net">Sky Islands</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div>I haven't been hiking or anything of the like in a *really* long time. Does anyone have any suggestions on some scenic places to go in the next couple of weeks? I'm thinking of taking a friend or two along, and it'd be a short hike (a couple of hours at most).</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://SkyIslands.tribe.net">Sky Islands</a> - 10 replies </div>

<div>This is the primo time to camp in the mountains. The water tables should still be decent, springs should be flowing. I'd like to do a Rincon trip but I have neither the $$ or the time to takea proper 4 day trip. <br/> <br/>Actually, if I had my way (and a pile of cash) I'd corrall horses at the base of the Rincons (in X9 preferably) and do horseback trips whenever I felt like it. Horseback camping rocks the house---even better if you have a spare horse to use as a pack horse (you have to carry horse food in the Rincons)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://SkyIslands.tribe.net">Sky Islands</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>When I heard the name of this tribe, Sky Islands, it made me think of a special trip up the Rincons almost 20 years ago. <br/> <br/>We had hiked well into the night during snow season. The rangers weren't even up at Manning because the snow was too deep for horses---but we were going to get up to Manning all the same. <br/> <br/>In the morning we got up, walked to the nearby ridgeline just a few miles short of Manning (along the Speedway trail) and were surprised to see a blanket of clouds below us. In the distance, Rincon Peak protruded from the clouds like Mount Olympous. It was one of the most beautiful sights I have even seen. We just sat there on that ridgeline drinking fresh cowboy coffee and watching the snene below. Down on the flatlands it was cloudy and gloomy. Up there at 7500' it was bright and sunny like a morning after a fresh snow. What a sight.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://SkyIslands.tribe.net">Sky Islands</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>I love our mountain lands! <br/> <br/>For almost 20 years, I have hiked, camped, and explored these beautiful wildernesses. Southern Arizona is uniquely blessed to have such a diversity of environments, including these life giving islands. <br/> <br/>I lived on Mt. Lemmon from '94 to '99, which was literally the pinnacle of my life, in and around Tucson. What can I say? I love the mountains, the woods, the rock formations, the canyons, and the waterfalls... <br/> <br/>We are so lucky to have all of this grandeur at our disposal! <br/> <br/>Please share your stories, inspiration, concerns... and of course: Photos!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://SkyIslands.tribe.net">Sky Islands</a> - 2 replies </div>
