Be careful and I wish you luck in your travels. In my late teens I hitch hiked the western United States and Canada. Should have wrote a book. LOL

Hi,

anyone here who could give me a ride to the southern terminus from Tucson on the 6th of February? Or who would like to share a commercial shuttle?

Cheers

Claudia

Three people need a ride from Patagonia to the southern Terminus on Monday the 5th of Feb. Any ideas? I was hoping to find a local around patagonia for the trip

@Bumblebee
The hiking group at Del Webb in Vail has been talking about a hike up Miller Peak in the near future. We haven't settled on a date yet. But I will propose February 6 and, if it works out, you could ride to Montazuma Pass with us.

I used Ken. Costs, but reliable. He even saved my bacon on a bailout. 5206046939

I live in Florence, retired, and time to spend on trail help when I am available.

Looks like you have a ride now.

Hello hiking friends! I’m ISO a shuttle from Picketpost TH to the beginning of Passage 16 either the evening of 2/15 or the morning of 2/16. Please and thank you!

Pretty sure I found a shuttle. Thanks!

whats best way to get from Sierra Vista hotel to Montezuma pass trailhead, tks ?

[sandyfortner]

Check with Ken's Shuttle service if the hotel doesn't shuttle. Go to the ATA site, Trail Resources in the pull down menu for shuttle resources.

Hello fellow Hikers. My name is Tyler and I'm coming down to Tucson by Greyhound arriving on Monday afternoon. I'm in need of a ride to Coronado Monument to begin my thru hike adventure on the AZT. Peace Love and Happy Trails

03MAR Sat morning, leisurely driving from SW Phx to Patagonia if anyone needs a ride along the way.

Returning 7/8 Mar from Colossal Cave if a ride is needed northward.

I'm flying into Phoenix on Sunday, March 3 to thru-hike the AZT. Arriving at 2:00 pm from SFO.
Arizona Shuttle from Phoenix to Tucson airport is $43.
Shuttles from Tucson to the trailhead are $150 or so, but the cost can be shared.
Car rental from Phoenix and turning in at Sierra Vista is about the cost of a shuttle from Tucson,
and Hertz in Sierra Vista is closed on Sunday; the Enterprise office closes at noon on Sunday.
Turning in a rental on Monday morning would necessitate a night's stay in Sierra Vista--AND a taxi to the terminus.

Anyone want to share transportation? Any alternate ideas? Thanks!

Any alternate ideas? Thanks!

Greyhound goes from Phoenix to Sierra Vista (Departure 4:30P arrive 9:30P) or Patagonia for about $28. Uber from S.V. to the Coronado Memorial is showing $23-$31. http://taxihowmuch.com/route/5c3kb

These guys are out at the T/H often - if they get critical mass, they even go Phoenix to the Southern T/H. 520-237-0129 tara@homegrownmtb.com

@hikeaz
Thanks! Great option to take the Grey Dog.
I've been in touch with Ken and Tara re: Commercial Shuttle....
My "home run" would be to make it to the T/H before sunset [6:23 pm] on Sunday.
I'll sit on it for a while and see if there are other folks planning a March 3, 2019 start.

PS--I'm only seeing 6:10 AM and 11:45 AM buses from Phoenix headed for Sierra Vista.
[Again, I arrive at Sky Harbor, Phoenix at 2:00 PM.]

Uber shows @ $210 fare from the Phoenix airport to Coronado Memorial Overlook--
If I could split that with another hiker or two I'd be golden!
