AZT Day 22: Rugged Superstitions

ByPurple Haze Posted onApril 9, 2012September 19, 2025

Daily Miles: 16.8, Total Miles: 348.7

I slept well on a sandbar last night – just like a firm mattress!

Probably the most challenging day so far with lots of elevations gains and losses on loose rock – forgotten how rugged these mountains are. I had to force myself to be cautious with an ankle that has a tendency to roll over.

Superstition Bouquet

I re-filled water bottles at Reavis Ranch and Walnut Spring. If anyone finds the hiking socks I left behind at the spring, you can keep them – you may want to wash them first.

Near Pinion Canyon

Good views of upcoming Four Peaks and Roosevelt Lake but still hazy.
