My dog stays close and is well-behaved. He doesn't bother other hikers and he doesn't run off. He's well-fed, healthy, and happy. He comes when we call him, doesn't nuisance bark, and is probably the smartest dog I've ever owned. Doesn't he deserve to enjoy a hike without a rope around his neck? Before you make idiotic statements like the one you made here, remember that not everyone plays by YOUR rules. Shame on YOU for being such a jerk in a public forum.

My friend Georges is 69 years old and so is my wife. We hiked from the traihead and did the return trip in a little less than 3 hours. This is a great trail, and the last few hundred yards are challenging but are worth doing. One month ago we did Picacho Peak and this trail is just as good.

If you'd like to share any narratives or photos from your hike, please do! As you can see, this article is a bit old and the photos aren't the best. I'd love to have an update or a new point of view to bring the site up to date. As for me, I hope to get up to the peak in January. We have some out-of-town guests coming and I like to bring them up there for a good look at the town. (No helicopter required.) I’m so glad you enjoyed the hike.

My hiking partner and I climbed to the top of Vulture Peak yesterday. An experienced climber on the trail pointed out the correct route to the peak. We took the 4WD trail to the base of the peak. I had to go into 4WD Low range to negotiate parts of the trail. Had a great time. Thanks again for your help. John Maria,

My hiking buddy and I will be doing the trail tomorrow. I had created a route on my GPS and it was for the 4WD road, not the trail as indicated on the first map. I was also able to select the map and copy paste it into WORD and enlarge it. Thanks for your help. John Maria,

It turned out that the images were not online at all. But I found them on an old backup disk and added them. I'm afraid they're pretty small -- they're from the days when everyone had a very slow connection and we needed to keep file sizes small. If you find this problem with other pages, please don't hesitate to let us know. Thanks so much for reporting this problem. It turned out that the images were not online at all.

I get a box with an "X" in it with a text descripter. My web designing son said that there is incorrect mapping of the images. Anyway I'd sure like to see these images.
