My Saturday Hike, a Cautionary Tale
On Saturday I hiked to the top of the highest mountain in Arizona--the 12,633' Mt. Humphreys. It's the second time I've done the hike, the first being about 6 years and multiple hiking and backpacking trips ago. I treated it not much different from any other hike I've done and since I hiked the Inca Trail last year didn't think of it as much of a challenge. I'm going to be in trouble if my Mom reads this, but I've never had a hike where I was more genuinely terrified that I wouldn't make it off the mountain.
