In the spring of 2019 I hiked the Mogollon Rim Trail, a 480 mile route across the Mogollon Rim in Arizona. The route was created by Brett Tucker and Melissa Spencer, and you can find more info about it here.

I found the route to be super interesting and I learned a lot about a the area, which I always enjoy. I hiked in a very wet spring, so there was tons of water- I rarely carried more than two liters. I started the route April 10th, which felt like the perfect start date, hiked the route east to west, and finished in 36 days. (I was hella chill and luxurious and took a zero in every town). The route, for me, was generally cold at night and warm during the day. Below is a link to every daily blog post. Enjoy!
