| partners | | After some downtime (some planned, some not), I got back to another section of the AZT. Started from Freeman Road and headed south 9.5 miles and then turned around. The trail starts as a very short section of singletrack until it crosses Freeman Road, then it's a road until it gets to Antelope Peak. After that, it's singletrack until about Beehive Well, where you follow the wash and then another road.
didn't see any wildlife, only a few cattle here and there. Saw 2 other thru hikers, one NB, the other SB.
Had lunch just north of Beehive Well in a drainage by the wash. We looked for the spot with the least amount of cow patties, but ended up fighting off the ants. Temperature was chilly at the start, but warmed up after the sun hit it warmed up fast. Never got hot at all, which is very nice for a longer hike like this. I was surprised that my legs weren't really sore at all for the last mile. Had more elevation gain on the way back out, but the gradual grades made that pretty easy to deal with. |
