This is the first BP trip with a HikeAZ.com group.

I asked my wife Sharon if she would be interested and to my delight she was.

Niether of us had done any training this year to speak of so I was pretty concerned about being able to reach Manning camp before nightfall. We started at 05:30 and arrived at Manning camp exactly at 4PM so we planned it perfect. The hike was ten miles beginning at Miller Creek trail, following Heartbreak ridge all the way to Manning camp. Elevation gain went from 4200 min to 8200 max. The next day we hiked down the Turkey creek trail.


The pictures should tell the REAL story of how awesome of trip this was!
