Re: SG - Fulton Canyon AZ logging grade

I have been adding more of the photos links from the hike on Monday to the map. Click on the South Fulton button below the map to see the latest updates. You will be able to see the spur that I wasn't expecting that branches off to the southwest. I have ended at the branch that I was expecting and we are not quite half way through the hike. I'll be adding more in the next few days since we have a long weekend coming up.

I was surprised at how much stacked rock was used on this grade. There are also a number of stream crossing that required bridges. These grades for the most part are easy to see on the aerials due to the tree growth on the grades. It seems like the pine cones lodged into the stones and ties and just sprouted lines of trees.
