My husband and I are from Prescott, and I would like to start to piece together the Arizona trail. We will be most likely doing 2 day hikes, maybe with the sections that need more time, we would go to a 3 to 4 day hike.
With the current conditions, recent weather rain and snow, starting from the north is out.
I should mention we are hangers, so we really want to hit the areas that we can hang at. We do have a Tarp tent to go to ground for the necessary sections of the AZT.
I should also mention I'm a 2 mile and hour hiker...usually the sweep. I like to take my time and enjoy the scenery, so max miles for a day would probably be 9-12.
With that said...any suggestions on where to start piecing?
We are also noticing lots of "creek crossings" have turned into "river crossings" at this moment. Not too concerned, but something to consider.
Ideas? experiences?
