Hiked the Apache Canyon Loop trail. Started at the trailhead, hiked the loop counter-clockwise. Notes: - Nice day, 60-70F temperature, no clouds. - Did not see any other hikers. - This is my third attempt to hike this loop. I have not been able to find the trail in the past, where T175 branches off the road. Did okay this time, had several mapping apps to help. - Counted 12 trees across the trail. All could be stepped over. The area could use a "tune-up": - Trail signs and small kiosk at parking lot. - Should gate be closed and locked? Remove barbed wire by hiker bypass. - Replace interpretive sign and trail register near trailhead. - Section of trail needs to be sloped to shed water. - Question: what is the status of T176?
