Day 19: 4.5 I catch the 5:30am shuttle back to the trailhead with MJ. We swing by the hotel to pick up a hiker I haven’t met yet. I don’t see her again after the TH and I don’t see...
Good morning from the Arizona trail. It is currently 8:32 in the morning, and I actually started my hike at 3:30 this morning. I had trouble sleeping last night because of the moon...
Day 16: 4.2 I didn’t sleep very well and woke up at 3am for no reason. I didn’t want to go back to the trail too early as I was trying to rest a little after my stretch of long day...
Day 33: 4.19 I leave Flagstaff by catching the city bus (saving me at least a mile of bonus road miles) to the spot where I got off the trail two days ago- right by the Taco Bell....
Lessons from the first 50 miles on the AZT The post WTF, Arizona!? appeared first on The Trek.
Last night I cowboy camped for the first time. It was actually really cool. Just me laying on my pillow in my sleeping bag on top of my mattress pad which was on top of the tarp ju...
I think today is day five. I’m not entirely sure. I took a zero after day three so my day four was a zero day. Yesterday was day five on trail so that makes today day six. So today...
Under the Juniper Tree Dead. A corpse in repose. Asleep to the world.This is how my first Trail Angel found me.It had been blessedly cool that morning in Sunnyside Canyon, cool eno...
Day 24: 4.10 I messaged a local trail angel to help with retrieving my shoes from Pine which is 15 miles north of Payson and 47 miles north of where I got off the trail two days ag...
Out of the desert, amongst the pines. Pinus ponderosa, with their orange, vanilla-scented bark. Pinus edulis, known for their edible nuts. I stare at these as I sit in the aptly na...
The Arizona Trail is so hot. I’d like to tell you about how we’re dealing with it. Embarking on a thru-hike through the Sonoran Desert during a record breaking heatwave isn’t for t...
Day 8: 3.25 I woke up early to prepare for an interview. I work as a travel nurse and my last contract ended the day before I started this hike I need to have a job lined up to st...
The Arizona Trail doesn’t warm you up. It throws you straight into climbs, heat, and 5 days of food on your back. In my first week, I covered 171 miles and over 22,000 feet of gain...
Why am I here? Why do I keep doing this? The short answer is: thru-hiking is the ultimate form of connection. Out here, there is nothing to do but connect with nature, connect with...
After sleeping for 11 and 1/2 hours I still felt terrible. In the morning I didn’t feel good. My head was hurting. My throat was burning. My stomach was nauseous. I finally went to...
It’s hot, it’s dry, no flowing water. I’m serious. Day 1 Miles hiked: 26.25 Originally planned: 23.3 Elevation gain: 3847 ft Elevation descent: 2635 ft Hours between camp: 10 Mood...
For a shake-down trip before my upcoming attempt of the Colorado Trail, I took some friends to southern Utah for a short beginner-friendly backpacking escapade. Five women ages 50...
Waking up to the sound of wild turkeys in the desert is not something I had on my Bingo card. It shows how little I actually know about Arizona and its varying native species of an...
Miles hiked: 21 Mile marker: 368.2 Water is dotted along my entire sleeping bag. The stars spill over the sky. I reach next to me and quickly swipe a finger over Dad’s sleeping bag...
The ground was, in fact, also dry. Like, concerningly dry. Water caches and long carries are this year’s norm in the Anza Borrego Desert. However, so happens to be the kindness of...
Note: I am hiking the PCT while working full-time remotely. I work Monday through Thursday from my RV, and trail run some Monday-Thursday nights and hike Friday through Sunday befo...
Miles hiked: 18.4 Mile marker: 169.2 It’s 6:00 AM. Dad, Rafiki, and I are sitting at a cozy coffee shop called Pure Bean Coffee House. I order a drip coffee and have my eyes on the...
With 4 months before my JMT hike, I knew that I needed an early season “shakeout” opportunity to get myself back into the backpacking mindset. My entire 2025 summer was spent trave...
We push on to Idyllwild, slowing our pace even though it’s frustrating. We leave Idyllwild to face a gauntlet of challenges from the desert. The post The Desert Gauntlets appeared...
