Arizona Trail: Canelo Hills

Send us a textBlissful Hiker hikes from cowgirl camp to cowgirl camp in the Canelo Hills on the Arizona Trail. In this episode:Blissful awakes to mourning doves and begins Passage Two of the AZT on a roller coaster of hills, finally running into other hikers.Happily she didn't camp near the creek that feeds Parker Lake because it's always colder in canyons near water. It's easy walking even a long way between water sources with beautiful views of hills and mountains like waves in the distance. The first water source is Middle Tank, a muddy man-made cow pond, though the water tastes good once filtered. It's up and over a saddle, on loose rock to a locker with "public water," then right back up and into a dry section.It's two more water sources fed by windmills amongst cows and finally a beautiful campsite under falling stars with yipping coyote. MUSIC: Pastoral Calchaqui by Hector Gallac as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, pianoSupport the show
