| partners | | Tom & I decided to backpack 2 passages of the AZT between Picketpost Trailhead and Kelvin, AZ in order to minimize travel on unpaved roads. We planned a 4 day/3 night trip in order to have at least one camp with water and to make it a more leisurely hike.
After spotting a car we had our lunch at Picketpost Trailhead and began hiking at 1:00pm. We saw 4 other hikers on the AZT, but other than that we had the trail to ourselves. At about 6 miles we found a place to camp for the night with a great views all around. The next day we were on the trail at 8:30am. The temperature was about 40. It was really nice hiking back here. Good trail, good views, good weather. We took our lunch break at the point on passage 17 where the trail "splits" due to passage 16 not yet being completed. We followed the temporary trail and after some up and down reached the White Canyon Wilderness boundary and the end of the passage. (Continued in passage 16 - White Canyon) |
