Fagins' Hike of the Week- Navaho Pass

Updated: June 19,2016

We hiked this several years ago about the same time of the year and understand from recent trip reports that we have similar conditions.  Hike is snowfree up to 6000 feet with wildflowers out and great views of the Mt. Stuart Range. Hike is in the Teanaway area. Thanks to Alan Bauer for photos.
