Jenny and I recently took a trip to Flagstaff where we hiked to the high­est point in all of Ari­zona.  Mt. Humphreys tops out at 12,633 feet and on a clear day pro­vides views all the way to the Grand Canyon and beyond.  It was a beau­ti­ful day and though we weren’t set­ting any speed records for the 9 mile hike, my lungs and heart told me I need not go any faster.

This was the high­est elava­tion hike we had ever done.  Some­day we’d love to hike Mt. Whit­ney or Longs Peak.  Some­day.  For now we’re happy explor­ing the peaks and canyons here in our own great state.  Cal­i­for­nia and Col­orado will wait.
