Calling all hikers! Do you want to climb the highest point in Arizona?
Also called Aaloosaktukwi in Hopi and Dookʼoʼoosłííd in Navajo, Mt. Humphrey's Peak is a 10.1 mile out-and-back trail (meaning we hike to a point and then come back to the starting point) with an elevation gain of 3,382 ft. and is rated as 'hard' by [Alltrails.com.](http://alltrails.com./)

Although some hiking and experience at alpine climate is recommended, you do not need to be an expert or fast hiker. We will be meeting at the trailhead in Lot 1 of Snowbowl at 7:00am and start our hike at 7:15am. We will be going slow and steady, taking periodic breaks to rest, eat, and hydrate, with a goal of reaching the summit by around 10:00am/10:30am and returning to the parking lot by 1:00pm.
After reaching the summit, I will be returning with you all to the saddle, but will continue on to do the Weatherford loop trail (https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/arizona/humphrey-s-peak-weatherford-and-kachina-trail-loop) which is an extra 14.5 miles. Would be nice to see the sunset when getting back to Snowbowl! (Around 1.75-2 miles per hour plus breaks).
We will keep this group small (Max 10 persons), but if you'd like to bring a friend, feel free!
Items to bring:
- High-energy snacks like Clif bars, trail mix, fruit, meat sticks, etc,
- At least 1.5-2L of water
- Sunscreen and sun protection
- Good shoes that you can walk at least 10 miles in
