| no partners | | South to North backpack of Passage 1 of the AZT. I did this with Heidi, K and Sam on my birthday. We didn't get started until just before 10am. It was still rather hot on this October 25th. Made it to Mexico and back up the hill to our truck at Montezuma Pass. The hike from hell started bout noon. We did the next three thousand feet in radiating heat, I was pushed to my limit as were most of the others. We set up camp south of Tub Spring. I was lightheaded setting up my tent. Very warm conditions on the ridge above 9000ft. Filtered water, ate dinner and hung food. Back on trail the next day by 830am. We met some southbound hikers at the tub in the morning who had started at Canelo. One more hiker passed after that but otherwise totally empty of bipeds. Sam saw three bears cross the trail near Scotia Canyon. We arrived at our other Tacoma parked at Parker Canyon Trailhead around 130p. My routescout app is not recording the miles accurately. I got 28 but other apps were reading closer to 22 miles. Wonder what the dealio is?
Backasswards adventure during a warm Autumn. Stayed an additional night at Lakeview campground and headed back to Phoenix Sunday morning. Looking forward to doing more South to North passages this year! |
