Description

Nestled within the Kachina Peaks Wilderness, you’ll find the spectacular Humphreys Peak. This peak is the highest natural point in the state of Arizona and an excellent place to hike. Join us for the day as we trek to the summit!

The trail that we’ll follow covers 9.2 miles of terrain and we’ll gain around 3,343 feet of elevation. The mountain itself actually sits at 12, 6333 ft.

We’ll begin by hiking through a beautiful forest. As we get higher we’ll be able to sneak great views of the surrounding landscape. We’ll soon reach a more rocky path and you may begin to feel the altitude. Finally, we’ll make our last ascent along narrow ridges. In this final stretch, the views are simply amazing. We’ll use hiking poles or crampons during the snowy months as there is bound to be some ice or snow on the ground. This is an intermediate hike, so you will need some experience.

This is definitely one of the best hikes in Arizona, so you don’t want to miss out. Book now!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
