Those switchbacks you were thinking is Joe's Trail is actually an old two track road on the south side of Ash Canyon just below Bob Thompson's peak. You have to go another canyon south to find Joe's trail.
I considered doing a long trail last year, but had a death in the family. Things started to free up in late summer, so I started looking at trails I could do in the fall. I also wanted to get thru-hiking experience in 2024 to get a jump on any hiking I may want to do in 2025.

Thank you! It didn't feel like the same trail as I hiked down. Thx!
What was your motivation for the AZ trail trip?
