Saturday August 8th, we headed up north to a quiet little place with a surprisingly in-your-face outdoor experience, the Hutch Mountain trail showcased amazing views of Northern Arizona's plateau country. This adventure consisted of two parts: the visit to the tower and the trail hike. The highlights of this 4 mile round trip hike were the historic fire tower and epic views.

The access gate bars vehicles from driving to the tower. No worries. We continued beyond the gate on foot.
We made a visit to the tower. Built in 1936, the 31-foot-tall tower hovers over a blanket of close-knit forests of fir, spruce and pine trees that melt into northern Arizona's volcanic highlands.

Gooseberry Springs. A grassy depression in an airy mountain valley where a spring flows nearly year-round.

We stepped to the side while two jeeps and an ATV made their way up the steep, narrow path.
Trevor fell asleep on the last 15 minutes of our hike.
