it’s that time of year- time to climb the talles it’s that time of year- time to climb the tallest mountain in arizona!!

📍humphreys peak, flagstaff at 12,633 ft

it’s a real butt kicker let me tell you but I’d do it over & over again! highly recommend staying in flagstaff the night before to limit going from 1,000 elevation in the valley to 12,000 in a few hours.

budget your whole day for this hike, and of course one of the best parts is finishing & enjoying a yummy meal!!

comment “Humphreys Peak” for my blog post guiding you through the whole hike!

📍MOGOLLON RIM

•check out the shroom room, danzeisen dairy ice cream, and common grounds coffee AND below the rim meadery

📍PINE
•an amazing small town vibe with restaurants like THAT brewery and old county inn. has an awesome downtown with lots of shops

📍STRAWBERRY
