AZT Thru Hike. Episode 1. Southern Terminus To Patagonia, AZ.

[@tailsfromthecampervan]

As the world turns upside down, I can still count on the Wander Women to provide me with a sane,sensible Thru-hike! My hiking respect grows with every adventure!

[@helenvwalker7919]

I cannot tell you what joy it brought me this morning to see you back on the trail with Mary Poppins. Love the fact that you just pushed on and made things happen. Enjoy the vida pura!!!💚🤍

[@karenboatsman8251]

Thanks to Christie for the beautiful photography and all of the extra effort it takes. Thanks to Annette for letting us follow her up and down the trails of all of your thru hikes. Thanks to Mary Poppins for her support and most of all for being the bad ass woman that wears shorts in the snow.

[@Mtnsunshine]

Wonderful to be able to follow along on a Wonder Woman adventure. And how fantastic to see Mary Poppins again. 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊

[@Mountaingirl1876]

Thanks for the beautiful escape. “Time is your currency”…I Love that..❤

[@rebeccaj5252]

I sure missed all of you ladies...you all are simply the best. Thanks

I never want these videos to end. Onward, Wander Women!

[@lindaselover2536]

Back on the trail again... . I am back on my treadmill - walking along with you. So happy to be able to have you out there showing me the trails. Thank you. Happy Trails.

[@carolemurray4532]

I have been rving around Arizona, New Mexico and Texas this winter. Everywhere we went they told us it was the coldest winter in 20 years. I believe it! I have been without internet more than with and so just now finally able to catch up on my Wander Women on the AZT. When those familiar faces appear and that music cues I am transfixed. So happy to see you back on the trail.

[@nedanother9382]

It's Saturday morning and I'm Happy. This was just a wonderful video. Superb editing instincts. I've seen endless videos of the same trail and you captured it so beautifully. The trek followed by wonderful in camp fodder. just great stuff. Thank you

[@rkatrails]

Yay! Love that you've started your next thru hike! Especially the AZT now that you finished the Triple Crown. The AZT would be my next pick too. So glad Mary Poppins is with you on this segment, I follow all her adventures on her blog.

[@carolbintorio4033]

So so excited for your new adventure and am thrilled to come along 🌞🌵🥾❤️

[@lindablack7438]

Hello Mary Poppins! What a crazy winter, who would have thought all that snow in Southern Arizona! Good luck on the hike!

[@movingmountains3565]

[@victoriamoore1294]

[@aok6989]

Beautiful take along. Good job ladies!

[@clydevanwinkle7382]

Fun! Love the video, so many new things to see.

[@bymyhandsworked]

How exciting! What a delightful video to wake up to! What an exciting time getting past that mountain! How is this trail? Is it easy to follow? Are there any other hikers? What's surprising? I can't wait for the rest of this year's adventures, have a wonderful time!

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

It's easy to follow and a lot of hikers are out. It's a beautiful trail

[@kw2764]

That was a pretty trail. Good to see you hiking again.

[@barb0138]

I like you music from the PCT, It was more upbeat and friendly hiking music. Good luck girls I love to watch you hike it inspires me. Hiking in the snow is rough. I watched Dan Becker and he was at the north rim of the grand canyon. He had to be evacuated out, be careful.

[@DarrowKirkpatrick]

Great meeting you all on the trail today. I'm inspired. Best wishes for an awesome thru hike!

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

So nice meeting you

[@movingmountains3565]

Great meeting you Darrow! Looking forward to your book :). MP

[@DarrowKirkpatrick]

@@movingmountains3565 Thanks MP, and let me know if you'd like a reader for any of your projects! :)

[@pattihoag2049]

Yay! The Wander Women are back and i get to go along, You guys be safe! It s great to see Mary Poppins again. You three have a great time enjoy!

[@gerilosiniecki421]

It will take more than a few feet of snow to stop the Wonder Women. What a start to another great adventure. Good to see MP also. It was fortunate the police happen to see you stop, who knows what was going on there. Glad you're safe. Be safe.

[@womenwhowander518]

Hey Ladies, we met you briefly in AZ at the Catalina Mountain campsite, we lived in Mesa AZ, we moved back East to be near our families last week, we got tired around Alburguerque NM, off 40E and we didn't get a a "friendly warning" we stayed at a Motel 6, that was so gross, there was even blood on the mattress. We hardly slept because we were worried about our truck camper and car getting broken into. The next day we drove out and saw a nicer area way ahead. I feel safer in the wild than in a hotel off 1-40 in NM. We got a kick out of your experience there because we just experienced it up close and personal. (missing AZ already) We will be back. Love watching your videos.

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

Glad you made it out of there ok

[@judyrobinson9556]

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor darkness of night...nothing, but NOTHING stops your guys. All that snow, but onward you go! Great hike on the AZ trail, beautiful. Thanks for taking us along. Really enjoying it.

[@anneest]

Thanks a lot for sharing your adventure! I am new to your channel, I am also following Splash, she started close to Oracle and up North, seems it's snow free for her there... Big hello from Norway, and Happy Trails 👍😀

[@tom6363]

So glad to see you back on trail. Special bonus seeing Mary Poppins again. ❤

[@pettipaw]

You guys are so inspirational!

[@glendacrouch1877]

Absolutely beautiful! You guys continue to inspire & amaze me. I am extremely thankful you are allowing us to be back on the trail with you.

[@bethmadden479]

I was star-struck today when I ran into you lovely women on the streets of Patagonia. Unbelievable! As I said, my brother is a huge fan, and he turned me on to following your trips on the CDT and your (harrowing) bicycle tour in Montana. Sorry I wasn't able to produce a Trogon for you today, but I know you will see many cool birds along the way. Happy Trails, Beth from Montana

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

So great to meet you. The caramel was delicious 😋

[@Aerynrox]

Holy smokes, what an adventure already! I'm excited for you to experience it.

[@kylekyselka6499]

I hope you get to enjoy the desert wild flowers. We were at Picacho Peak today the mountain sides were beautiful.

[@AT-Bluebird]

Wow! What a great start to your trip. You guys never cease to amaze me! 🥾❤️🥾

[@gypsygirl6887]

Just beautiful!! So excited to follow along. Blessings 🙌

[@evapierce1090]

Yay! It begins. Starting off exciting. Your already adapting to some things. Yal made it through that snow like rock stars. Hello Mary Poppins.

[@buffalolodgebicycleresort1550]

We just love following your adventures and really enjoy how you put together your videos! You really take us along with you!

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

Thank you 😊

[@1moremile845]

Hey, Hey… happy to see you on the trail. I love how you say that was sooo HARD, followed by, It was so much fun! I like to challenge myself too 😊❤

[@GoFar_RoamFree]

Wow! Great video! Loved seeing the southern terminus of the AZT and those views of ur 1st night campsite were 🤩. Miller Peak was stunning💯😀

[@janebeckwith7692]

Thank you for your video, so looking forward to watching these. The landscape looks amazing and vast, from Scotland so different.

[@musingwithreba9667]

It looks like a winter hike thru the desert is much nicer than thru the heat of summer! All that snow they've got is just mind blowing! Be safe, have fun 😊

[@loricollins3163]

Whoop whoop! On the trail again! yay!

[@captdoug]

Thank for a great video. I start on the 16th so it gives me a little bit of trail condition before I go but I expect it to melt a lot more. Or at least a little bit. Be safe. Have fun hike on!

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

Have a wonderful journey.

[@themountainsarecalling42]

So inspirational! Love your videos, thank you for sharing with us:)

[@cheryld4191]

Let the adventure begin! How beautiful the desert can be with its snow-covered valleys and hills and mountain tops, just beautiful!

[@morgaynelove9327]

Greetings from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state! Was happy to see your blog on the ACT! Bright Blessings! 💛🌻💛🌻💛

[@marge57]

What a wonderful video of a wonderful adventure with some wonderful women!!

[@Woodthrush]

That trail looks fun! Was camping in Grayson Highlands this week and when I unzipped my rain fly in the morning there was a pony butt! Quit a view. 🐎 Wouldn't have it any other way! Happy Trails! 🌈⛄🏕

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

It's great to see you out again on the trail. Hopefully the weather is kinder to you after the first section.

[@susanrogers3350]

Welcome back on the trail. Love to see you gain your hiking legs. Thanks so much for bringing us along! Have a amazing time!

[@melissacurran-moore8919]

So beautiful! Go Wander Women and Mary Poppins!

[@Babu-kr3cr]

When you hike with someone a lot more fit, it is hard to keep up. Will you be hiking with Lynn again? I was impressed how you did the whole AT just taking it in stride.

[@vickietyer1611]

We are a few days ahead of you at colossal cave! Come catch us. We would love to meet you. Rodeo and Mo

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Love watching you 3! Wow I don’t thru k I’ve ever seen snow on the AZT!! Glad you have spikes! Be safe! - Chica

[@rosscollins2910]

Welcome to Arizona! Thanks for taking us along. Have fun, safe travels!

[@katygrayell9227]

I have been anticipating this adventure! So glad to tag along. You inspire!

[@adventuremedic4538]

Haha, only the Wander Women could start a desert hike with crazy amounts of snow! Very much looking forward to following your latest adventure! As far as your crazy hotel stop, kudos to the officer for giving you a heads up. I am a paramedic in rural county in Indiana. We have one notorious hotel that is just off the I80/90 toll road. For whatever reason, it has ended up as a meet-up place for drug use and other nefarious activity. When we are called there, which is frequent, there is an automatic police response as well for our safety. To put this in perspective, over half of our county population is Amish. If there is a traffic back-up, it's usually the result of following a buggy. But for whatever reason, this hotel is a hotspot for all sorts of degradation. I frequently travel, hike and backpack alone. I have a policy that I never camp within 2 miles of a trailhead and never stop at a hotel just off of an interstate unless it is thoroughly vetted through reviews and is at least a 3-star. Just my 2 cents of advice from someone who has unfortunately seen the darker side of society. Thanks for your continued upbeat attitude and for showing us another beautiful trail! 🙂

[@heidif482]

What beautiful scenery!Thank you for taking us along!

[@birdwatcherjean6293]

Wonderful to see you out! Wacky weather everywhere, have fun, be safe.

[@nml4546]

[@marcellae3999]

Have a wonderful trek, be safe ladies 😊

[@turragorman59]

Excellent video! I will be in Arizona soon too but to help my mom after knee replacement. I will enjoy watching you all! Go ladies!!

[@kylekyselka6499]

Welcome to our backyard. We m glad the trail conditions have to improved since the week before. The Sheriff Department had to take a hiker off Miller Peak that had lost his shoe in the snow. I love mountain biking down from Montezuma’s Pass to Patagonia. Patagonia is a great small town. You’ll love Temporel Gulch and Mt Ritson

[@leafcutter333]

Yay! Welcome to Arizona. So fun to see you guys in our neck of the woods (desert). Thanks for bringing us along and we'll be keeping an eye on you.🌵☺

[@billrisdon1]
