Thanks for showing this. I live in Arizona but have never hiked Mt. Humphrey. My wife says I'm too old, but never say never. 🙂

Thank you for refreshing my memories of my several summit hikes to Humphrey's Peak. Once I had to turn around shortly after starting up because I smelled smoke due to the beginning of a Forest Fire,. By the time I returned to the trailhead it was closed & filled with firefighters & equipment. Another time I was within 300' of the summit & when I & everyone else had to turn around & run back to the saddle/tree line protection because of thunder/lightning that caused long hair on other women hikers to stand straight up above their head. There was so much static electricity that sparks arched 1" from my finger tip to rocks. Thunder was so loud I thought it was going to split my skull. The force & power of Mother Nature was scary. My most memorable hike up was on a foggy day; 10-minutes after reaching the summit in August, it began to hail. Within a few minutes the entire peak was covered with a 1/2" layer of small hail stones. By the time I reach the trailhead I looked up & all the hail had melted.. I bushwhacked down to the coordinates of where the crashed B24 was supposed to be & all wreckage was indeed gone. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

Always enjoy doing Mt Humphreys Peak when in Flagstaff. Great expansive views at the top. You do have to be careful and not become wrong headed near the top.

Nice to see that you are still uploading hiking guides, but will you do more SoCal hiking guides?

I was so hoping that when you got to the peak your old timer, straggler trail friend was already there, looking fresh, bit of a restrained but knowing smile on his face. Guess that part of the video didn’t make the final cut.

I attempted Humphrey’s last year. But it was in February, and flagstaff had a record snowfall. Unfortunately the trail was under 7 feet of snow, and everyone was skiing right next to it. Had to abandon that hike. Looks like an awesome peak! Glad to see a preview!

Hey Cris, I want to start easing my way into navigation/rescue tech, is Gaia GPS a good place to start before upgrading to a Garmin etc? I have a new S24+ and I mostly do popular hikes in SoCal. Thanks for all the great info!

Yup, GaiaGPS is a great tool and the one I use the most with my smartphone.

@@Hikingguy I mean, I get the joke that you were a kid 200,000 or so years ago, but what certainly was NOT around was any lower 48, the state of Arizona, the USA, or any political entity that might loosely be associated with any of those. A point in Arizona cannot have ever been the highest point in the USA (even if you exclude Alaska), because from 1848 (the earliest moment Arizona could be said to be a part of the USA) on, there was always at least one higher peak elsewhere. And Arizona wouldn't become a part of the "lower 48" until 1912. Of course, it was just "the 48" then. California became a state 62 years earlier and definitely had higher peaks from any of these dates one might choose until the present. Anyway, cool fact that it used to be around 16,000 ft, regardless.
