Arizona Road Trip Pt 2

Our next stop, Lower Antelope Canyon!
This was one of the coolest places I have ever been, well worth the 20$ tour ticket (and the 8$ fee to get on the reservation). We booked through Ken's Tours, the guide was amazing, she shared the history of the area and canyon  as well as some Navajo folklore.

After our 3 hours of walking through this amazing canyon we got back in the car and drove to Flagstaff, AZ to Locket Meadow Campground. Lockett Meadow is beautiful, primitive camp sites nestled between aspen trees with breathtaking views of the San Francisco peaks, it was a perfect place to relax in the hammock and enjoy a quiet evening.

                                   

We (I) had our sights set on tackling Humphey's Peak, so we (I) packed up the tent and headed to the Arizona Snow Bowl where the trail starts.


                                           These smiles didn't last long.

                                                 

        Forced smiles and delirium

                                       
He was pretty much done at this point, but we had 3 more false summits to go!

After HOURS of blood, sweat, and tears we made to the top! 12, 633ft, the highest point in Arizona!

We only stayed at the top for about 5 mins, there was a gigantic thunderstorm coming right for us so we hurried of the mountain as fast as we could. As we were hiking down Noah made it very clear "this was never his dream and not on his bucket list". My hope is always that even with all the craziness he will look back at these adventures, smile, and know that I loved him the most.

Good times.
Good company.
Good adventure.
