I believe I'm at the high point of the AZ Trail here, at about 9400 feet on the side of the San Francisco Peaks. I took the Kachina Trail instead of the new AZ Trail route because it is higher, cooler, shorter, and more scenic. The reroute is for mountain bikers and I think alternate sections just for hikers should be continued.
If I already posted this, I apologize - you'll hear why in the next post.
