Hiking to the Highest Point in Arizona, Humphreys Peak

Показать описание
Humphreys Peak is the tallest point in Arizona, sitting at 12,637 feet. Humphreys Peak is part of the San Francisco Peaks, a range of dormant volcanos outside of Flagstaff, AZ. The hike to the peak is around 10 miles round trip with 3,500 feet of elevation. It is a fun but challenging hike, especially if you get a lot of wind at the top as we did. Here is the video on that hike and let me know what you think in the comments.

I climbed Humphrys Peak twice in my younger days. Those false peaks made me think, "Oh no, how much further to the top?" The reason you can't camp above 10, 000 feet is because of sudden storms and lightning strikes. My second summit was on a clear day and I could see the north rim of the Grand Canyon that was 85 miles away. Congratulations on a climb that you'll never forget.

I just climbed Humphrey for the first time the day before yesterday! I have a few physical challenges and I was lucky to have perfect weather and no wind !! It took me from 439am to 1245 to reach the summit and I didn’t get back to the th till 930 pm making my hike 17 total hours and I hiked alone but fortunately someone had met me and saw my strength and came back to make sure I was ok at sundown! What a blessing and a magical experience. I really like your video too! Great job! Kendrick is next for me after I recover

I was so excited to see your video I had to share with my husband, who climbed the peak twice many years ago. The first time was very difficult for him because he lost the trail in the snow and and he had 2 men help him near the peak, and on the way down. He called them his angels. They also took him to Bun Huggers in Flagstaff. A few years later we drove through Flagstaff and my husband took me to the base of Humphrey's Peak, and to Bun Huggers. If you haven't eaten there, you should. They handcraft their unique burgers and they are delicious! Once again, thank you for an awesome video!

Really beautiful hike but you definitely have to earn it. It is easy to forget that Arizona has forests with huge elevation gains. It’s not just a desert climate. Thanks for sharing!

I summited Mt Lemmon at only 9, 000 feet and the views were breathtaking. I can only imagine what you saw!

Excellent video. My wife and I just did Wheeler Peak, NM with snow and ice on top. I hope to do Humphreys Peak when it gets warmer. Very good job describing what it was like during the climb. I'll watch this again before we go. Thanks.

Looks like a great hike. Love the rolling clouds above and the views at the top. That wind is no joke!

Your hike reminds me a little of goat rocks wilderness and the knifes edge hike along the pct. it can be done as an incredibly long day hike or overnight hike. But the views are a million times better if you can luck out and get a clear day where you can see from mt adams to mt rainier. Some mountain hikes have amazing views. Thanks for inspiring us with your posts. And thank Amy while she takes care of the twins to let you find cool places to hike and places to explore

Good move driving in the night before hiking so you acclimated to the elevation. Many drive up from here in Phoenix early in the morning and get pretty sick. Not that we know anything about that. 😅 The ski lift is pretty cool. The gondolas are fairly new (changed over from the old school chairs as well as sped up). Fantastic way to see the aspens in autumn.

Those are some super sweet views, I appreciate you taking me there. I've been in Florida far too long... I get winded just looking at a set of stairs! lol
