Geocache Description:


Hike with us to Arizona's highest point - Humphrey's Peak at an elevation of 12,633 feet above sea level!

This meet/greet is a result of having to cancel https://coord.info/GC7M6PJ  (Top of Arizona!) our first attempt due to USFS closures this past summer.

We will meet at the trailhead parking lot (see additional waypoint) at 6:30 AM and will depart at 7:00 AM. If you do not want to hike, you are still welcome to attend the meet, but get there early!

Our primary goal will be get to https://coord.info/GC4272 (High In Arizona). If time permits we may also get a couple caches along the way (https://coord.info/GCGARV  (B-24 Crash Site) and https://coord.info/GC3Q782  (Wrong Turn Cache).

This will be the first time hiking Humphrey's Peak for Take a Hike! and I, so we welcome any others that have completed this hike to join us as well! We also welcome any advice (by submitting a 'note' ) and is appreciated!

In researching and preparing for this hike, a few things to consider like altitude sickness and how to prepare for a high altitude hikes are discussed in these related links.
