Arizona Trail Day 4 – Water Water and Legend

on

Move the body, still the mind. Therapy. ~Rockin’

April 1

Town of Patagonia to Gardner Canyon – 21.4 miles (AZT mile 70.2)

Heading out of the town of Patagonia after a great night at the Stage Stop Inn with a shower
Rolling beautiful hills – views for days
Packs and clothing left behind
Our first barrel cactus
Lots and lots of gates to open and close – all with different latches
Mount Wrightson in Coronado National Forest
Forest walking – it was really quite lovely
We talked to Legend who is pre- hiking southbound to prepare for his Fastest Known Time attempt of the Arizona Trail
Every stream is running this year – such a treat

    I thought to you would run into Legend for sure, since even pre-hiking he is covering lots of ground. And, there he is!

    Christy, you mention lots of gates to close. Is the trail on private land, or is it national forest with grazing leases for the cattle?

    Now I know where you are getting the water!
    Glad to see you’ve deployed the umbrella. What are the temps like out there?
    The AZT sure is beautiful so far.

    Looks gorgeous! My husband and I are teachers, and we can not wait to follow in your footsteps when we retire. Your beautiful photos make us extra eager to tackle the Arizona Trail. Have fun out there!
