Summit Day: February 24, 2017 (Friday) Background Info My friend Marcia had previously done Everest Base Camp.

Summit Date: September 16, 2017 (Saturday) Watch the corresponding YouTube video here This hike was a part of the 10 day long trip in Arizona I had put together on behalf of my outdoor club MOB, and this was the first of the many activities we had planned for this trip. Last year when I did a trip out to Utah / Arizona, I spent most of my time in Utah, and only a few days in Arizona. But that trip helped me to plan out my future trip to…
