Well anyway, here's a brief trip report from Anderson Mesa, AZT #30. In case you haven't figured out, my mom and I are hiking the AZT together, a section or two at a time. The method works quite well, and we're up to ~260 miles complete.
So back in September when it was still nice weather, we took a trip up north and hiked passage 30. It was a beautiful day and we had camped in the area before heading out. With 18+ miles, we needed to get an early start.As it was, we hiked till late in the afternoon and then I rode my bike (staged ahead of time) back to the vehicle. Most of the hike was rather unremarkable, except an old section of railroad that was kind of interesting. The one and only viewpoint came at about 16 miles in (northbound) where Upper Lake Mary was actually quite nice in the late afternoon sun. The best views were actually on the bike riding along Lake Mary back to our car. We definitely had a good time, but decided that 18 miles is a long day hike (at least for our current level of stamina and footwear selection). |
