April 30, 2021 788.7 I woke up exhausted, emotionally and physically. I’m pretty sure I’m hormonal. I spent some time praying and started crying again. Finishing a trail is just really emotional, okay? I hiked out ahead of Ghosthiker around 5:40am and pretty shortly after that I put in my earbuds and turned on myContinue reading “Day 59: The End”

Day 58: Trail Families
April 29, 2021 778.4 We woke up around 5:30am, made coffee, and started getting our stuff around. I was stressed about when to book my flight out of Las Vegas because I didn’t know how many days I could stay there and with whom. But I talked with Hi-Ho and Fireworm at breakfast, and theyContinue reading “Day 58: Trail Families”
Day 57: Jacob Lake Inn
April 28, 2021 Zero I had the absolute worst dream last night. I was back at home again and knew I only had 27 miles left to complete this trail, but I was stuck in Indiana and couldn’t get back to Arizona and no one seemed to care. Woke up stressed and anxious and had to rememberContinue reading “Day 57: Jacob Lake Inn”
Day 55: Back in the Cold
April 26, 2021 734.1 I set my alarm for 4:00am so I could set up my phone to catch a time-lapse video of the sunrise over the Grand Canyon. Then I went back to my tent, had coffee, did stretches, packed up what I could, and went out with my warm weather gear on andContinue reading “Day 55: Back in the Cold”
Day 54: The Grand Canyon, Part 2
April 25, 2021 712.4 It was pretty warm last night. I slept with no covers for most of the night and still slept really well. I spent some time doing extra prep on my feet in between sips of coffee this morning because we have a long climb out of the Canyon today. Ghosthiker wasContinue reading “Day 54: The Grand Canyon, Part 2”
Day 52: Tusayan, AZ
April 23, 2021 ZERO DAY! I slept in a little, but not much. We had breakfast at Plaza Bonita. The 7 Mile Hotel doesn’t have laundry amenities, but we were able to do a load at the Red Feather hotel next door. Putting on freshly laundered clothes always feels so glorious. After that, we hungContinue reading “Day 52: Tusayan, AZ”
Day 51: I’m Not Superstitious…
April 22, 2021 683.7 I was having some really strange dreams and woke up around 4:30am when I heard Ghosthiker shuffling around in her tent. I managed to get a few things done, like hang up my water to filter and hurriedly drink my coffee before dashing out of my tent to the pit toiletContinue reading “Day 51: I’m Not Superstitious…”
Day 48: The Arizona Snowbowl
April 19, 2021 615.7 So, today was interesting. We’d heard the Arizona Snowbowl ski area was open and serving coffee and breakfast burritos, so we fully intended to hike the 1-mile detour for that. It was a 1-mile climb but would be totally worth it for fresh coffee and burritos. Luckily for us, the hikeContinue reading “Day 48: The Arizona Snowbowl”
Day 46: An Unexpected Zero Day
April 17, 2021 Zero Day We woke up to snow! It’s crazy how the weather changes in this state, and especially at high elevation. The temperature had been slowly dropping yesterday, to the point that our walk back to the Motel DuBeau from the brewery was extremely cold. We were planning on doing our lastContinue reading “Day 46: An Unexpected Zero Day”
Day 43: First Zero in Flagstaff, AZ
April 14, 2021 Zero Day I woke up really slowly this morning. I don’t remember doing it, but I know I got really warm during the night because I got up in the dark and opened the window. It was well after sun-up before I even thought about getting out of bed, partially because I was just so bone-tiredContinue reading “Day 43: First Zero in Flagstaff, AZ”
