Butcher Jones Trail

Albert, Joyce, Don and I hiked the Butcher Jones Trail near Saguaro Lake. It is rather odd to hike near a lake in the desert!  The trail was constructed for easier access to lakeshore locations where fishing habitats have been installed. 

The trail starts at the east side of Butcher Jones Beach and follows the contours of Saguaro Lake. After Peregrine Point the trail surface becomes more difficult. We followed the trail all the way to the end at Burro Cove and then returned by the same path. All in all, about 5 miles.
