Wow, we did it in 20 hours and it was tough. But there was no running involved. I remember a runner much older than us passed us on our way from the South rim to the North in a confident run. Passed us later running much faster on his way back to the south rim. We were in awe!

I have the perfect solution. Bring a dog... A second solution would be to measure the dehydrated food out into a standardized measurement, ie. grams, cups etc. then divide the water by the same ratio. Reynolds makes tin foil cooking bags that would serve the same purpose as the packaging, although w...

Woop, i have hiked with him, that is really what he looks like!! If you are still reading this thread, welcome Ronney. My suggestion for local hikes would be south mtn preserve, while the weather is nice. Or Peralta, although can be busy. There are a lot of hikes on here, if someone is looking for h...

Unfortunately, i completley agree with not posting perishable sites on a public forum. The sad truth, in my opinion, is that there is only a finite amount of history in AZ, but there is an infinite amount of people who will destroy/negatively impact them. Keep it to yourself and share it with the pe...

Just out of curiousity and a little confused, where exactly is this hike? (ie. what state/region?) Also when are you planning on going?

I have played with a bunch of police officers that felt it was not a problem. I do not think that they were positive, but they never had a problem with it ( i know that does not make it legal though ). The paint is water soluable and disolves usually after the first good rain. I have also played for...

Hey Mike, i am definetly in. Looking forward to it.

Just an FYI, REI is having thier "Garage Sale" in mid February, you may want to check that out first and see if you can get something there.

The guys at the neighborhood fishing store told me there should be trout in the Tonto. They suggested spinners and, like mike says right after me, powerbait. I have a set of radios i will bring also. After my last few experiences i think those will be going with me on every hike! Looking forward to ...

Payson at 9am works fine for me. If i remeber the dennys is on the main strip. I live at 16th and Bethany Home (North of Camelback) if anyone wants to meet here and carpool to Payson. I also have a stove and water filter. Neither weighs much so i will bring mine. I also have a set of titanium pots (...

Hey All, you have room for one more on this? If so count me in!

Alright guys, for those that want to, lets meet at 6pm for some happy hour beers. Anyone else swing on in around 7pm. I should be there at 6pm. See you all then. Anyone who cannot make it, who has not made other arrangements, and wants a CD of the pics, PM me your address and i will throw a copy in ...

Any time is fine with me, I threw out 7pm arbitrarily, wanna make it 6pm.

Does anyone know if the road to the trailhead of Reavis Ranch 109 North is less rough than the road to the trailhead of Rogers Trough?

One of the girls was feeling car sick on our trip into Rogers Trough and I was wondering if the North route would be less of a problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Guys, there is a map below. Basically you want to go south on Rural (Scottsdale Rd), past University and make your first left, which is 8th street. You will have to make a U turn to get onto 8th street. Just take 8th street to the East and you will see the Brewery on your North side. The address...

One i like when i want to wear out a dog while dogsitting is in the South Mountain Park. The route i take is at the southern end of 24th str, i think it is called the Mormon trail. You take the trail to the top and then you have the Mormon Loop on your left ( http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=1...

Hey All, i still owe most of you all a CD of Pics from the Four Peaks.

Would meeting at Four Peaks Brewery ( http://www.fourpeaks.com/ ) on the 10th of January work for everyone? 7pm?

Alright, i will throw out my other hike i would like to do. I have been spending time going through these hikes and getting myself a list built up. How about doing the Peralta to Canyon Lake hike? http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=554 It is a long hike, but the first saturday in February will h...

what about doing a one or two nighter into the Supes. Logistics would be easy. The only place i know is Reavis, not another Four Peaks kinda hike, but plenty of water and plenty of space.

I am game for anything. I have been having an itching for a backpacking trip though. Maybe a night or two out in the wilderness in the cold???
