It seems like every day I discover a new favorite part of this trail. So we’ll have about 500 miles left to hike when we return in the fall, and I couldn’t be more stoked to experience the desert in a different season! The pain finally won out over the fun of the hike, and it just wasn’t worth it to continue on at a reduced pace. Well, we ended up getting off (for now) around mile 300, as I’ve been struggling with keeping my plantar fasciitis pain in check since about mile 40. A little bittersweet, but still totally awesome because that meant we’d get to hike in the Sonoran Desert twice this year! We learned about the closure pretty early on, and decided we would just do half of the trail in spring and then come back in fall to finish the rest. On top of that, there was a rockslide on the North Kaibab Trail in the Grand Canyon that will leave that part of the AZT closed until June. An intense snow year in the Southwest meant we didn’t have to worry much about dried up water sources or long water carries, and we got to see a massive super bloom in the Sonoran Desert.īut it also left feet of snow and chest-high water crossings on the Mogollon Rim late into the hiking season - some hikers were snowshoeing that section! This year, the Arizona Trail had some unique perks and challenges for thru-hike hopefuls. Sometimes the best sign of experience and preparedness on trail is knowing when to cut it short and/or come back when conditions improve.
