it to you, either. (...) Says Elizabeth
Here in Arizona trekking is so much fun. As long as you like the wilderness you will like Arizona. Quite far from Flagstaff you discover Hermit Trail, but backcountry hiking it is always exciting. The total elevation difference for
| | Hermit Trail is 4,438 feet which is higher than average. Of course, this is an overnight backcountry trek, 2.5 days normally, so better have big backpack to fit all the stuff you need. This vicinity does get very dry sometimes, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. At Hermit Trail you don’t see much rainfall; of all the months in a year January is the one with the most snow, and the driest of the months is June. And keep in mind that there could be temporary safety restrictions | |
