The last couple of years have been crazy, some people were able to pull through the pandemic with little to no concerns, and but others had a strenuous time and rightfully so, the mandates became too much for some people to handle! Personally, I did wonderful during that time.
I even developed some new habits enjoy hiking because it was something that I could do during the lockdowns, however so, with my newfound hobby I am always looking for new adventures and I found something that I system on doing.
I would enjoy to go to Phoenix and hike a few of their best spots… While there are a bunch of cool locations, I am looking forward to seeing the Hole-in-the-Rock located in Papago Park. I can’t wait to kneel inside the cavern and look out at the town from there. I am planning on going in December when it’s cooler outside, however though Phoenix doesn’t get brutal Winters, they do get blistering heat in the Summer, and I would enjoy not to hike when it’s that boiling outside. There would be nowhere to cool down because there would be no indoor air conditioner for miles. The car air conditioner doesn’t do much when you’re out in the middle of the desert, but a few years ago, I spent some time in Phoenix, and I spent most of the time on indoor activities. I wanted to be in air conditioned spaces because I wasn’t used to the weather. But Phoenix will be much cooler in December, so I wouldn’t have to worry about having a/c when I am on my hikes.
