📰 News we're reading

• Clark Peak Trail #301 (usda.gov) — If you’re up for a challenging high-country hike above the Gila Valley, the Clark Peak Trail offers sweeping views that include Pima, Safford, and Thatcher spread out below. This rugged ridge route in the Pinaleños features big elevation changes, burn areas that can obscure the path, and connections to other trails, making it better for prepared, possibly overnight, hikers.
