Remember those mountains from yesterday? Well, I'm on the base of them skirting them to the west. They are the San Francisco Peaks north of Flagstaff and include the high point of AZ and the high point of the AZ Trail.
I'm on the Kachina trail which is a more scenic alternate to the recent AZ Trail reroute for mountain bikes. The new trail is longer, lower, hotter, and no aspen. Easy choice for me to skip up the hill a ways and enjoy this trail.
So far, my heel blister is cooperating and I'm covering miles.
