Arizona Trail: camping like a (cow)girl

Send us a text

Blissful Hiker encounters icy snow on the Huachuca Mountains of the Arizona Trail, then sleeps out under the stars in the high desert. 
 
In this episode:

1. Blissful climbs nearly 4,000 feet over Miller Peak and carefully crosses a sharp ridge with a steep fall line. 
2. At Bathtub Spring (literally a bathtub) she collects water and eats lunch in the sun. 
3. It's more up and down, before finally steeply down Sunnyside Canyon following a horse poop path through a riverbed with good pools for water collection. 
4. Above man-made Parker Lake, she camps all alone without a tent under the stars, owls singing her to sleep. 

MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala  as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano
