Thru Hiking the Arizona Trail (Part 3/3)- Superior to Mexico
This is part 3/3 of my 2021 southbound thru-hike of the Arizona Trail. The AZT is an 800 mile National Scenic Trail that traverses the length of the state of Arizona from the Utah state line to the border with Mexico.
This final part of my hike begins at the Picketpost trailhead near Superior, AZ and ends at the Southern terminus of the AZT. Taking place almost entirely in the Sonoran Desert aside from patches of the Chihuahua Desert, some highlights of this final part of my thru-hike include the Gila River, Kearny, Mount Lemmon, the Santa Rita Mountains, Patagonia, the Rincon Mountains, and finally the least beautiful part of the entire hike, the US/Mexico border wall.
