Reviewed by J E M on 10/27/2009 I ran this trail up to the fence line. It was a lot of fun. It is very rocky as you might expect towards the top. I plan on running it again but going a little farther.
Reviewed by Tobe on 10/18/2009 Great hike. My 13 year old daughter and myself hiked to the top and back down. Took us about 4 hours with several stops to rest and eat snacks. Took lots of pictures. Next time wife will meet us on the other side. www.TobeTurpen.com
Reviewed by Scott on 9/24/2009 I hiked this trail this morning during a break between meetings. In two hours, I would guess I went about 3/4 of the way to the pass, then about 1.5 hours down. Sure seemed like more elevation change than 1500 feet, but I guess the maps don't lie. Very little wildlife (a few bugs and the occasional lizard). Many varieties of cactus. Only saw one other hiker. Took lots of pictures.
Reviewed by ASH on 8/29/2009 Nice moderate hike, 3 hours trail head to saddle and back. 1 tarantula, 2 horned lizards an eagle or two. I beat the heck out of my knees on the decent. OH to be young again!!
Reviewed by Jlo on 4/13/2009 Pretty good hike. We started on the West side and went all the way over to Aguirre Springs. Then back over to the West side. Probably should have left a car on the other side. We were pretty tired by the time we got back to the car. It took about 5 hours 20 minutes to go about 11 miles. The east side hike is much easier than the west. Good 1st hike overall.
Reviewed by JVO on 1/1/2009 The first time we walked it there was a sleeting rain. This time Jan 1, 2009 was a very nice day. Windy at the saddle. Path is easy to follow. Mostly rocky so it pays to have good hard sole. For old folks like us it was still doable although going down is always harder on the bones. Took us 4 hours including a 20 minute lunch at the top. Good family WALK. 
Reviewed by AB,AM,NB on 7/1/2008 Make sure you got plenty of water,good shoes,and sunscreen! Not many shading areas much longer anticipated! Make sure you plan way ahead for time to hike the trail! Be careful and have fun!!
Reviewed by George on 10/5/2007 Nice hike. One of the nicest in the area. Going from East to West is best... less elevation gain. Did see a rattler near the "primative campsite."
