Day 43 Our goal for the day was to get as close as possible to the border of the national park. As we didn’t have permission to spend the night in the national park, we were constantly switching back and forth between the hiking trail and the road, depending on the conditions. The trail was…
Day 39 From the hotel, we followed the paved hiking trail to the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, which was closed due to a lack of staff. So we drove straight to the Backcountry Information Office, where we met Aspen. She raved to us about her tour and we basically planned the exact same tour, just…
Day 33 Today, after our stay at the hotel in Flagstaff, we were to continue our journey. As I didn’t want to miss out on the area around Flagstaff, we dropped off at Canyon Vista Campground and hiked a few miles, including some routes I already knew. Afterwards, the trail became particularly beautiful and rocky….
Day 26 was the only “zero day” I allowed myself on the trail. We only stayed at an Airbnb or went shopping. We cooked our own meals and put our feet up. Day 27: We left the Airbnb as late as possible and headed back towards the trail. We met other hikers at the trailhead….
Day 21: The day began as the last one had ended. Rather leisurely, with a long sleep and a coffee after the small store opened at 7:00 am. Afterwards, however, we climbed 1700 meters in altitude over a distance of 36 km. But always with breathtaking views of the lake on one side and the…
Day 19: Today we went into the Superstition Wilderness. Some of the paths were very difficult to follow. Especially in the last few meters, there were many fallen trees on narrow paths on the slope, which actually consisted only of rubble and made progress difficult. The day was a little shorter this time and the…
Day 16: After a free coffee and breakfast at the hotel, all you had to do was step out onto the street and the question was immediately asked: Do you have to go back to the trail? This is why Kearny is considered the friendliest town on the AZT. Unfortunately I was let out about…
Day 13: After a delicious coffee in the coffee club next to the accommodation, the day got off to a leisurely start at 9am. The walk was not particularly difficult and was made very beautiful by the many blooming cacti and flowers. The weather was also very kind. There was a good wind blowing and…
Day 10: I didn’t really want to get going this morning. The sunburn on the back of my knees was bothering me and I also felt pretty crumpled. But above all, dirty: 6 days without a shower. Nevertheless, I pulled myself together to at least walk to the campground less than 10 miles away, from…
