Arizona Trail Day 2 – The Mighty Bear Hunters

“I’m a person of the mountains and the open paddocks and the big empty sky, that’s me, and I knew if I spent too long away from all that I’d die; I don’t know what of, I just knew I’d die.” – John Marsden

March 30

Bathtub Spring to Middle Canyon (mile 31.1) – 23 miles

Today we were getting into groove of walking and had a cool breeze most of the day. The walking was gentle on rolling hills.

We saw our first people. Apparently it is bear hunting season and we experienced true fully equipped hunters. They were all friendly and informative.

Streams are all running, such a great year to hike this trail
Beautiful Arizona Trail sign
This water is colored just like glacier water. Fungus perhaps.
What kind of cactus?
Canello Hill walking
Up and over, it was fun just like little rollers

    You are seeing such different sites along this trail instead of the previous hikes. There is beauty in the desert. Keep on posting.

  2. All that water has really brought out the green. Glad you had a nice Day 2.

  4. Hi Rockin! I’ve loved reading your blogs over the years, we have hiked so many of the same trails but never at the same time. I am heading out to start Nobo in a few days, planning on some bigger miles, so maybe I will finally get to meet you if I catch up! Happy Trails and thanks for all your great posts! ~Mary Poppins (milissajayn.wordpress.com)
