The descent into the Grand Canyon along the South Kaibab Trail connected me to the Tonto Trail to take the long way to Indian Gardens, now renamed Havasupi Gardens where I camped the first night. Also, my phone is not an ax, fleas carry the plague, and my pack is way too heavy.

Stealth Camping Tusayan, AZ
This is the entrance to the Grand Canyon? It sure is, but without a permit I camped nearby and took way too many pictures of my tent. Not in a hurry to go anywhere, except the food in town is all super expensive. Supposedly it’s cheaper inside the park. Maybe tomorrow the Grand Canyon. #grandcanyon […]
Chillin at the Grand Canyon
Just chilling today, tomorrow I’ll hike #AZT
AZT to Tusayan
Pushed the last 26 miles into Tusayan to have McDonald’s earlier than planned. Only the jokes on me, the McDonald’s has been torn down. Had to settle for Wendy’s, and had to knock on the door to be let in since they close at 6pm on Sundays. But I got my burger. All is well […]
AZT through Coconino National Forest
A little snow, a beautiful birch tree forest and some views. 65 miles to go to one of the most expensive McDonald’s… #wandering #Arizona
AZT Flagstaff Loop
Last day hiking the Flagstaff Loop, spent the night up on a cliff with only just enough room for my tent. Really enjoying the hiking here. I’ve been out for five nights, time to go into town, do some laundry, shower and shave. #Arizona #wandering
AZT Flagstaff
I love hiking through tunnels! And Flagstaff is quickly becoming my favorite hiking destination #tentcamping #Arizona
Walnut Canyon National Monument
Short 15 mile hike for the day so I added some miles around Walnut Canyon. Met a couple of other hikers out doing the same loop around Flagstaff and a couple others taking it slow, otherwise, for camping only seven miles away from town I may as well be in the middle of nowhere… except […]
Fisher Point Cave
Decided not to hike the 30 miles south to Mormon Lake for pizza. They may or may not be open yet for the season. Instead I’m hiking the AZT loop around Flagstaff. First day was only to Lake Mary Valley and up to Fisher Point where I spent so much time looking at the view […]
Flagstaff Tent Camping
Sunrise from inside the tent, just south of Flagstaff #tentcamping #wandering
