With another 24 miles ahead of me, I decided that the San Felipes was a 
two-day journey from Scissors Crossing.
If 16 miles kicked my butt, I'd be hating the final 8 miles into Barrel 
Springs. The San Felipes would have to wait for another weekend.
One other option to consider is hiking north-to-south as a day hike. I've 
"been there-done that" as a conditioning hike (It was my first hike of the 
calendar year). You carry your own water and minimal equipment (no tent, sleeping 
bag, etc.).

It's no shorter that way, but it's more enjoyable. The switchbacks near 
Scissors Crossing still seem like they will never quit ... but, with the highway in 
sight, one pushes on.
