I'm looking for someone who wants to Section Hike the Arizona Trail. My plan was to hike 1 Section per month over 4 years. I just started my second year and have 10 Sections completed. I've ran out of people I know who want to hike. I don't mind hiking alone, but the logistics of getting dropped off and picked up is difficult when you hike alone. I'm an average hiker who wants to remember the journey and not how fast I completed it. ;)

Hi,
Are you doing the sections in order?

No, my plan was to hike the northern sections during the summer and the South during the winter. I have been hiking each individual section from South to North.

I'll probably be doing some of the southern ones this fall/winter. I need to do 1-12 and 14-16 and 19.

@BobP
Keep me in mind when you're ready to do 1-12 or 19. I've completed 13-18
Thanks

@ihikeaz
Will do

I'm interested in the Kaibab Plateau passages at the moment. Not sure when I'll have time, though.

Every year the Arizona Trail Association holds Rendezvous at Mormon lake in September, and has a silent auction to raise funds. Last year there was, and will be this year, at least one "shuttle" deal on the auction. The deal is for shuttle service between any two trailheads on the AZT, or a trail head and transportation terminal. Think about it--shuttle service from Stateline TH to Sky Harbor! We are trying to get this online some how this year. Watch for it!

I haven't done any of the AZT but am interested in section hiking. I'm free some weekends, as well as Mondays.

Sounds like fun!

@juliachaos
Would like to do AZT #32 Mount Elden this Saturday if you're interested. About a 15 mile hike. Here is the link. http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=2442

Put me down for interested in section hiking. I do like to plan my trips many weeks in advance though.

"Put me down for interested in section hiking"

@nonot
Thanks, I'll let you know when I can plan more in advance.

Thanks, I'll let you know when I can plan more in advance.

@ihikeaz
Unfortunately, I'll be out of town this weekend. I can plan out a couple weeks in advance, but don't have too many spur-of-the-moment opportunities.

Looking forward to meeting up w/ you on the trail at some point!

Yes, I would be interested also in any section hikes. Scott

I am hiking from Parker Canyon Lake to Patagonia on Aug 22 to 24th. All my buddies just bailed on me. Thus for the short notice. Im a moderate hiker looking to enjoy the hike not setting land speed records. If anyone is available or interested let me know.

Looking for hiking partners during Sept/Oct for 2 - 3 day weekends for the following passages. Can either schedule day trips or car camp at TH's depending on travel times from the valley. The actual direction is immaterial. I'm open to suggestions and options.

25 – Whiterock Mesa (Going N, Baby Doll Parking Lot to E. Verde River to Twin Buttes TH) 4.0 + 11.4 = 15.4m

34 – San Francisco Peaks (Going N, *FR418 to Cedar Ranch) 16.5m
35 – Babbitt Ranch (Going N, Cedar Ranch to Moqui Stage Station) 25.6m
36 – Coconino Rim (Going N, Moqui Stage Station to Grandview) 19.0m
37 – GC S Rim (Going N, Grandview to S Kaibab TH) 23.5m
