Black Canyon on Sutton Mountain [December 22, 2014]

Advertisement: Sutton Mountain is all about off-trail hiking and finding your own way. The vegetation is sparse due to the dry climate. Hit the peak or just explore, it's totally up to you. We were trying for Sutton Mountain but we got sidetracked and ended up on a peak adjacent to Packsaddle Mountain.

Difficulty: Variable, but we did 10 miles and 2700 feet of elevation

Preparation:None, but bring a map

Summary: Loads of fun if you like just doing whatever. Might be hot in the summer, we went in winter. 4/5
