Ending My Arizona Trail Thru-hike After ONE MILE

[@kellyflykelly5300]

I love the music you pick for your vids. Not the regular ol techno-y be-bop crud that 90% of KZbinrs use. Your vids are always refreshing and beautiful

[@Angelwings44]

I agree and I appreciate the less talking and more scenery. Beautiful video.

[@troopahhikes.]

❤ Dixie...i had an incident and had to get airlifted off of Miller. It ended a year later with a surgery. I feel your spirit in this one. I live in Az. Middle Verde. I love it here. I will keep an eye on you and your next yrip. I will help you, if available. I know the routes and extra scenery! We Arizonians await your journey!

[@edog1955]

In 2019 I solo hiked the AZT to Pine (not Page as previously written!) and ran out of time to complete the trip. About 6 days up from the Mexican border, feeling overwhelmed, I emailed you in desperation. I will forever treasure your reply, “You’ve got this!” My spirits were lifted and I carried on for 5 1/2 weeks. Thank you. The vertical profile of the hike (over 50K feet) is one thing, but out on the trail one quickly realizes that the planners determined to make the trip as arduous as possible! Arizona is the*4th* most mountainous state in the country and the people laying out the course make this painfully clear! This is far from solely a “desert” hike! The only part that was anything like I expected was around Tucson - despite research including lots of videos. You will return, and we all look forward to seeing that adventure through your eyes!

[@firstname4337]

you ran out of time but continued on 5 1/2 weeks ??? what does that even mean

[@edog1955]

@@firstname4337 It’s an 800+ mile journey. I thought that I could make it all the way to the Utah border - having started at the Mexican border. However, I only made it 1/2 way, to Page AZ before I had to return home. It’s a difficult trail.

[@alanwrobleski]

​@@edog1955 page is on the utah border. I think you mean pine.

[@edog1955]

@@alanwrobleski You’re right! That’s what that trail did to my brain!!!😂

[@davidedward13]

Truly beautiful footage

[@kenbeutler]

What an excellent, feel good video this was, for two reasons. As an outdoor guide, with over 40 years of experience, I’ve had many setbacks like this. It was wonderful to see how well you handled it. I will remember your example the next time one of my trips falls through. Second, the scenery and the music we’re awesome! Thank you! By the way, a couple of months ago, I met a teenager who had hiked the entire Appalachian trail last summer by herself. I asked her, what inspired her to run away from home without letting her parents know where she was going, to go do something she had no experience doing. Her response, she had watched all of the Dixie videos on KZbin. 😂 She eventually let her parents know where she was, once she was on the trail. Thank you for emphasizing the importance of letting people know where you are on the trail.

[@francesprice618]

I am so sorry, Dixie! But I have no doubt it WILL happen when the time is right. In the meantime, I cannot thank you enough for inspiring my (grown) daughter into luring me out onto our local trails here in WV since I have retired, and showing me how very much I am still able to do at age 67. I got her kayaking with me, and now we are carrying heavier and heavier day packs toward building up strength and endurance for backpacking -- all thanks to your inspiration and excellent information. Blessings be to you and your family. Keep looking forward, and thanks for being a blessing to so many!

[@fegero]

I understand "failure" (postpone until a later date in my case). I left in mid March to thru- hike the AT and a few days later I was heading back home. I made it from the approach trail to Gooch Gap. My daughter needed dad to be home so I headed home and I'll try hiking again in a few years. I did learn some great things though. It was 15 degrees some nights and my gear worked great. I live in a pretty flat area and didn't have a chance to train hiking big hills until I started my tru-hike. While I went slower than I expected, I was still able to reach my 8 mile limit each day. I'm looking forward to my next attempt with the AT. Hopefully the next time my daughter will be into hiking and will want to go.

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

No question, AZ is extremely diverse! You’ll love it. One thing though - we had much more rain this winter than usual, so the desert is much greener, with gorgeous flower blooms. Next year that likely won’t be the case.

[@emmapowell28]

Our family is NOBO the AZT right now. Every blonde braid that hikes past us (we are hiking with kids and get passed a lot!) my kids ask if it’s Dixie 😊 So sorry it turned out like this for your hike; we all have to make decisions that are best for us. We’re continuing on stalling because the weather this year has been so cold, we’ve been able to stay behind it and hike in a perpetual spring moving north. We’re hoping to walk up to the Grand Canyon right about when it opens to finish up the through hike. It’s been a crazy year, not many will finish due to the snow and closures, but for us it’s been a blessing for the opportunity to go very slowly so our daughters can finish at their pace not worrying about heat, and they’ll be the youngest recorded finishers of the trail. We’re over halfway through! Thank you for being a strong female role model for these girls as they continue to press through this hike! Looking forward to seeing your next adventure.

[@kitkat2114]

The amount of beautiful footage from just a day is wild! Looking forward to watching your hike when it happens.

[@paigetaylor9152]

Always go with your instinct, most especially on the trail. Every time I’ve ignored that gut felling I came to regret it and I will no longer ignore it

[@seriouslyreally5413]

There is something about when you put your scenic videos to classical music that is so emotional and exhilarating... its awesome. thank you for those few minutes of joy and peace...

[@trilbyarnold3341]

It's a wonderful trail, especially when hiked with the idea that it's the journey not the destination. There is so much variety and challenge on the journey. Yes. The GC is amazing to hike but really needs some time to fully experience, that isn't had as just another segment of the AZT. My first effort on the JMT was to have been titled A 77-year-old's solo hike on the JMT. Instead,Olds it became my adventure of learning and exploring. I never made it onto the JMT because my enriched food made me sick and I turned around after 17 miles of the approach from Horseshoe Meadows. It was still a wonderful experience that prepared me for the next year's venture. I'm now 81, recovering from a sprained hip having already recovered from a broken hip. I still plan on section hiking the Southern section of the AZT solo. Good fortunes to you in your always interesting hiking ventures.

[@Judyhoctor]

I can’t imagine how bummed I would feel. You cleared your schedule, got in shape for the hike, and at the end of all the excitement, such disappointing news. I’m glad to know you didn’t get hurt though!

[@CPRebels21]

The Superior Hiking Trail in Minnesota would always welcome you for an alternative summer hike.

[@beatewolpert8685]

The azt class of 2023 is so unlucky, first all the snow and now the north Rim is closed. I couldn't believe it when I heard :( I'm sure a lot of hikers still have a great time but my heart aches a little for those who cannot finish or postpone. I hiked the azt last year and it was the best decision of my life. Can't wait to hear what you'll be up to this year now!

[@loudonleasing9435]

This is my favorite hiking channel! Informative, great scenery and a really cute lady hosting it!

[@Bscott-390]

You are by far my fav KZbinr. Love your transparency.

[@hollywood7249]

been watchin your vids since 2017. i hiked the pct minus 300 miles of the sierra nevadas due to intense snow and lacking the gear to safely traverse it. i like the subtle red streaks in your hair. keep up the great work. i've talked to so many people on trail who are clearly inspired by your videos. you have a friend at the southern terminus of the azt!

[@Hondo79]

Holy Toledo ! Talk about the fates aligning 😮 . Well the best part is your demeanor about the whole thing ! Keep on trekking !!

[@patisulambert5669]

Hey Dixie, I live in southern AZ and at least you got to see a little of the super bloom before having to regroup. Come back, it’s an amazing place!

[@dagnolia6004]

BREATHTAKING photography!!! your positive attitude is icing on the cake that is your artist's eye....thankyou

[@jjaj1243]

Love that you posted this despite bailing on the trail. Knowing when to turn around and come back another day is one of the most important skills to have in the wilderness. I was hellbent on going through with my first backpacking trip last year despite omen after omen telling me to give up before I started. Didn’t listen to any of them but I did finally listen to my body screaming in exhaustion halfway through the trail and decided to turn around before I got in too deep. Got a call from the backcountry office the next day asking if I made it back to town or if they needed to send a rescue team because snowmelt from the warm night had caused some flooding on the trail and they had gotten reports that it was dangerously impassable. I would’ve definitely survived had I powered through and made it to camp, but being stuck in the backcountry for an extra day or having to be rescued probably would’ve killed any desire I have to put myself that deep in the wild. Finally made it out to the smokies for round 2 recently and had a totally successful trip. Itching to get back out there again soon

[@cl9425]

Sorry to hear about your trip not working out. Thank you for the beautiful photography.

[@annarborthenorris5455]

What a shame. We have the most desert flowers this year that I have ever seen in the 31 years I have lived by the Arizona trail. Best views you would ever get, and the temperatures here between Tucson and Phoenix are perfect for hiking and camping. Need shade midday, but with highs in 70s and lows only 50, It's really nice. Even locals like me are getting out on portions of the trail just to experience the unprecedented flower super bloom and perfect weather

[@phillair3813]

Dixie, I'm sorry you ran into a bad situation for the Arizona trail. You will not regret having to reschedule. I taught science at the Hopi reservation just 80 miles east of the Grand Canyon and was fortunate to experience the great and spectacular diversity of people, wildlfe, and geology. Everywhere I hiked and explored revealed incredible secrets of the desert both high and low. Wishing you a wonderful return to that trek.

[@mikehamilton3833]

Dixie, stunning scenes. Unbelievable beauty. Thanks for sharing.

[@maryleonard6381]

You have the best photography. Thanks for the video capture the sunset and dusk and stars over the GC. I ENJOYED IT!

[@RonaldBoman-c6g]

Hi Dixie, I know the feeling. I was NOBO on the AZT in the Spring of 2020...then Covid hit and the Grand Canyon closed the trails in the park. The AZT Association recommended that hikers go home and return later. I left the trail at the 250-mile mark (~Kearney). For a year I was bummed and felt cheated...but I was determined to finish my adventure as soon as I could. I returned in the Spring of 2021 and resumed at mile 250 where I had left off the previous year and was highly motivated to reach Utah! The rim-to-rim hike was amazing, and I made it to the Northern Terminus to complete my first thru hike. After feeling so defeated in 2020 due to circumstance beyond my control, it made the completion of my thru hike in 2021 very satisfying indeed. Best wishes on your next adventure. - 800 Smiles

[@susiehilsman1360]

What a bummer! But those pics and videos were fantastic-like a teaser trailer for what’s to come. I’ll be watching, whenever it is.

[@bikingal4283]

sooo sorry you didn't get to do your hike, but I want to thank you for the beautiful shots... your loss is my gain, sorry to say as you have now convinced this 70years old gal that I ABSOLUTELY have to see and hike in the Grand Canyon one day. I want to see scenery like this in person, you did a lot of your viewers a big favor by staying positive and still helping us appreciate all that there is to see even when things don't go according to plan... hope you make it back and I'm sure you will

[@packrat2569]

Dixie, your montages and the accompanying scores are first rate. I really look forward to your posts now. I am retired from the backcountry due to disability but you have given me a window back to what matters most to me. Thanks and keep it up!

[@gud2go50]

You know, I have never really liked the desert so I never really wanted to see the Grand Canyon, but after watching this video and seeing how beautiful it is I will probably put it on my bucket list now. Thanks. That couple that put yall up seems really nice. You were blessed to find them. Hope you finally make it out to hike that trail one day.

[@1999Scottie]

Another option you might consider would be the Hayduke Trail which starts in Arches NP and also goes through the Grand Canyon. I’d love to see a videography of that trip. I love you share your adventures with us.

Hoping that you come back. I would love to see all your adventures here. Hope to do it someday myself.

Great video Dixie glad you got to see the Canyon. The trail will be here for you another day..enjoy your Spring!

the GC is a hike like no other. You will want to take your time through it, start early, get that sunrise at ooh ahh point, relax a while at phantom ranch and the river, check out ribbon falls, it is not to be hurried and will be worth the delay I assure you!

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

Good call on postponing the AZ hike. Truly a beautiful state to hike, eager to hear your experience.

You can hear the emotion in your voice. The trail..that trail..will be there. Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@casperinmd]

For only a one mile hike, the scenery you shot was amazing. Look forward to the full hike one day!

[@karensmith5116]

The photography is phenomenal! Dixie, I feel your disappointment. In 2019, a friend and I were all set for a rim to rim in the Grand Canyon. EVERYTHING was booked and we were staying 2 nights at Phantom Ranch. Then....there were water line problems in the Canyon, and several months before my hike, NPS canceled everything due to construction on the water line. I didn't make the lottery again, and now Phantom Ranch is closed after May "indefinitely" per Xanterra. So, sorry to share my woe, but truly I get that you want to hike YOUR hike, the way you want it to be. I've hiked in the Canyon before, and it will be worth waiting for, I promise! Truly, I can relate to how you feel, and hopefully, in the not too distant future, we'll both live our dreams!

[@zotto3509]

If your still out there go to havasu falls. It’s a 12 mile hike into a reservation. Absolutely beautiful water and stunning sights. Worth it to go. You can camp down there also

[@wesgibb]

I always love your videos no matter what they are. Sorry to hear they closed the north Kaibab trail, and you had to postpone your Arizona trail trip. It will be worth it when it opens back up. This past February my brother and I hiked the Grand Canyon Rim 2 Rim 2 Rim and I can see why they closed the trail this spring/summer. It was not in good shape with rock slides and ice waterfalls with a lot of snow and ice. Apparently this past year has been a record year for snowfall. It's funny that you were planning on the Grand Canyon this year because a few years ago we hiked the Grand Tetons just after you were there. Thanks for being that inspiration to get out of the cubicle.

[@coffeemountain356]

The section from Cottonwood to the North Rim is pretty spectacular, too. You’ll get to enjoy it all later!

[@oned6264]

My wife and I had a similar airline experience. Thank goodness we had taken travel insurance to cover the costs of laying over to wait for the next available flight. However the time and experiences we missed are not replaceable. Air travel is really becoming an undependable mode of travel. We’re driving as much as possible in the future. Thanks for the beautiful video! At least something good came from your experience! 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🇺🇸👊🏻

[@stevepoling]

Hope you get the AZ trail next year. It looks like a beautiful hike. Just before your hike a friend from church, Tim Spanding, started northbound. When he and his group discovered the trail was closed, they figured out a different, somewhat sketchy way up the north rim. They found water, but not until some anxiety & drama. I hope your health improves so that you can get back to hiking.

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good Friday mornng Dixie. Excellent video - as always. Thanks for sharing a look at your wonderful nomadic life living and camping in the Great Outdoors. 👍👍😊😊

[@josephfallon4133]

Hello Dixie, your video was outstanding and brought back distant memories from my ten day cross canyon North to South hike in the mid 70’s. We had a full moon for part of the trip and could read a notebook under its light. My trip was in September and we had almost perfect weather. Hopefully you’ll have the chance to get it done, the experience was breathtaking for me.

[@ctm70170]

I was scheduled to do a rim-to-rim hike May 23 - 30, I received the same email you did about the section from North Rim TH to Cottonwood being closed. Last week I saw pictures of 6' - 4' of snow on the North Rim and on the North Kaibab trail. I changed my itinerary to hike rim-to-river instead, down the South Kaibab and up the Hermit trail, not the rim-to-rim I had on my bucket list but 6 days in the Grand Canyon so no complaints. Mother Nature does what she does we have to learn to play in her playground.

[@packtoter]

Good call. Made it to mile 485 and hit 5 ft. of snow. Went to flip up and discovered as you did, trail closure in Canyon. Have thru hiked it in 2014 so decided it wasn't worth wallowing in mud & snow not even on trail. Come back it's a great trail. Love your channel. Keep Smilin', PACKTOTER

[@4potslite169]

[@SaidanXII]

I am sorry to hear about your AZT difficulties as I too had some eerily similar ones as well. I was set to head out to AZ in mid-March to hike the AZT, yet like you I had 2 flights cancelled over 2 days out of Boise due to mechanical issues (it was also Spring Break so finding another flight was extremely difficult). After waiting a day and then several hours on the next, I finally got a flight out to Tucson. After finally getting on trail and enjoying the trek to Patagonia, I noticed I was having some knee issues that got progressively worse out of town. Realizing this wasn't just normal aches and pains from a tough beginning hike, I got a ride back to Tucson to see a doctor and learned that I had a strained Quadriceps tendon and a tear in my meniscus. My AZT hike had ended after only 60 miles. I admire your mindset on this, as I had been struggling a bit with this outcome, but even in just the 60 miles I did I got to meet some truly amazing people and experience so much incredible variety that AZ has to offer. Like you said as well, it definitely didn't feel like it was meant to be this year for me, either. I will definitely come back another year to do this trail, and now shift my focus to healing up and setting out on future adventures!

[@jessicalewis714]

I think you should do it next year - same time. All those wild flowers looked amazing. I think you picked the right time of year to do it.

[@nancyhilborn885]

Sorry for your luck. My hubby and I did a private day trip guided hike at the Grand Canyon in February a few years ago. It was amazing. Your short but sweet video captures it perfectly. We stayed in Flagstaff a few nights and hiked a portion of the trail through the forest, did the observatory one evening. Lots of day hikes in Sedona area too. Not thru hikers but ❤ to get out in nature and walk everyday!

[@deborahhill3105]

Ok, after that beautiful cinematography presentation, I’m bummed too! Amazing work! Maybe try for next spring? The flowers were gorgeous.

[@davidfernandes5565]

Well, that sucks. Sorry to hear. Your comment on the diversity of The Arizona Trail is 100% correct in my experience. I consider it to be my favorite "long" hike in the US for that reason. It's definitely not "desert". There's some of that but it really changes everyday (with ridiculous temperature swing fyi) especially around mid March / mid April. Closure of grand canyon trail for three months is insane IMO but I'll keep my thoughts for myself on that one. I'll continue enjoying your channel wherever you decide to go next. Happy trail!

[@kamwatkins1957]

We hiked the AZT in 2005. Got to the north rim in mid May & they had just cleared the road 3 days prior. Had to walk it to Jacob Lake...the snow on the side of the road was over our head. North side of Grand Canyon gets an incredible amount of snow!

One of my very earliest memories was of the Grand Canyon - I had just turned 3 and my parents drove from Atlanta to LA. I remember looking down and seeing the blue green water of the river framed by the red cliffs; there was a woman selling her handmade items near the visitors center and she and I looked at each other very intently for a minute. It's an unforgettable place and I'm looking forward your trip through it whenever that may be!

[@philipstaite4775]

[@michaeltorluemke3322]

Sorry about all your troubles. Unfortunately you picked a very good year for us with all the rain and snow but a bad year for hikers. We desperately needed the rain and snow so I’m very happy we got it. But it really would have made your hiking trip harder with the water running in a lot of places and a lot deeper then you wouldn’t normally see it. I hope you can come back and try again. Sorry but Welcome to Arizona and we hope you can return again soon.

[@CrossoverGenius]

As a life-long local and long-time subscriber, I was really looking forward to seeing the AZT documented by you. This little glimpse makes me anticipate that even more. Even people who live in PHX have the same misconception about the state. I hope you do get to come back in the future and see it for real. Glad you still got to see our li’l canyon 😉 and some lovely wildflowers!

What a beautiful view! The last time I visited the Grand Canyon was as a kid. When my wife and I moved from CA to TN in 2020, we originally planned to take a couple weeks in spring, visiting friends and family along the way, and stopping at places like the Grand Canyon and Four Corners. Then the shutdowns happened. By the time we made the move, it was the middle of summer and everything was shut down. We never made it to the Grand Canyon, or any other tourist destinations. We pretty much just drove straight through, arriving well before the PODS container with all our stuff.

[@frankbama3989]

[@floydyoung7329]

I have never been to Arizona until this year. I was there for work related purposes and I was able to do 5 small hikes. One was the hot shot trail. The scenery was beautiful but even better was how friendly and helpful everyone I met was.
