A photo story

The Humphreys Peak sign

Summit selfie at 12,633 feet on Humphreys Peak in October 2023, around 8 in the morning. Clear sky, frost on the rocks, and I had my gaiter pulled all the way up because it was cold up there. It was in the mid 20s, with only a light breeze. It was my Arizona high point, the day after Wheeler Peak in New Mexico, which is about a nine and a half hour drive.

Humphreys is the high point of Arizona, a rocky volcanic summit in the San Francisco Peaks. I got to the sign early, took the selfie, and tried to keep my face warm.
