Just lookin’ for an excuse…
I walked into the Canelo Pass Trailhead about 3 PM. I couldn’t go any further. I planned to pitch a tent at the trailhead since going further was not possible.
I reached an area called the Saddle 25 miles in on the trail. A tent site was right where Far Out indicated. The ground was flat, and the tent went up easily.
Montezuma Pass Is where we would begin the Arizona Trail. The temperature forecast was 30F° with a wind chill of 19F°. There is snow on Millers Peak.
The Arizona Trail is an 800-mile national scenic trail. It stretches from the Mexico to Utah. The trail passes through deserts, forests, and the Grand Canyon.
