Wingate Wash?
#1
Has anyone ever hiked or stumbled across a trip report of a hike through any part of Wingate Wash?  I've been thinking about checking some of it it out for years.  It wouldn't be a sexy canyon hike or much in the way of mines or artifacts.  But it is thick with history and would be quite a challenge.  Not to mention one of the most remote parts of the park.

Picking up the old trail where it hits what is now Warm Springs Rd just off of West Side Rd would be the starting point I think.  It's about 8mi one way with a modest 1500ft gain to the first "narrows" and a view of a small valley up there, just to check it out.  Lol.

If one was feeling froggy and wanted to make it a through hike, it's more like 22mi/4000ft gain to road at the base of the radar tower in the Owlsheads, skirting the base border, which would probably be a tough cross-wash hike.  Or it's about the same distance if you could get up and over to and cross Lost Lake.   Looks like a bit of a ridgeline there, but looks like a couple of the canyons are navigable on satellite.  

Just curious if there's any record of anyone venturing out there.
