Arizona Trail Thru Hike • Ep 4 • Oracle to Superior

Join me on my Arizona Trail thru-hike adventure as I trek from Oracle to Superior, encountering breathtaking landscapes and challenging terrain along the way.
The Arizona Trail AZT offered a steady string of stunning landscapes, at night the stars and Milky Way were amazing to observe, from the desert to high mountain ridges, the changes in vegetation from pinyon and juniper to manzanilla, cacti, and agave was spectacular.
2023 was a record year of snow in Arizona, some nights were very cold, it was a big challenge that made us physically and mentally exceed our limits.
A big thanks to all the trail angels for their generosity and kindness, they made me love this trail even more.
Depending on your pace, the AZT will require around six to eight weeks to complete, a total distance of around 800 miles.
I've started on March 6th to finish it on April 19th
The highlight of the AZT was the Grand Canyon, from the south to the north rim, it was overall one of the greatest experience I've done, an incredible hiking adventure.

That scorpion was cool, though a bit unnerving. Great shots of all the lovely flowers as always. Getting into some beautiful craggy peaks in this one!

[@simplelifet]

I truly love your channel. Keep doing the best work, great music choice.

[@Ratatrail]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@MacGyver0692]

Well done! I love your camera work. Very creative and the drone footage is awesome. It was great to see Pizza Man pole dancing. I just finished hiking that section a few weeks ago. Thanks for creating this and sharing on UA-cam.

[@Ratatrail]

Thank you so much MacGyver! Pizza Man was super cool, gave us rides, a real character. It's a great pleasure to edit because it allows us to relive the trail again. Was the weather acceptable when you hiked it?

I away with you every where you go
Is time flying when you have fun and good luck

[@campbub]

I think this would have been my favorite azt thru hike … but maybe just a little narration, not to much maybe a tad about the section, and a tad about that experience-feelings?
i mean no disrespect by the comment, the videography and simplicity is awesome!
thanks for sharing with us all.
greetings from Michigan ✋🏼

[@Ratatrail]

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback, it’s constructive! I know the video may seem a little incomplete, it's just the video style without any narration or explanation that I like to do, just show nature and leave room to hear it. It’s a real pleasure to be able to share and experience those magnificent trail! 🤘🏻

ma préféré en paysage celle là

[@Ratatrail]

Je sais que tu aimes hiker les trails sur toutes leur longueurs, mais si tu te trouve dans le coin et tu n’as que quelque jours, la section de Kearny à Superior a été ma préféré avant de rentrer dans le Grand Canyon.

[@AlexGodard]

@@Ratatrail effectivement, j'aime bien faire ça d'un bout à l'autre ahah

[@morethan4ever]

The worst part of this video is it ends so soon 😏

[@Ratatrail]

Haha appreciated it! There will be 3 to 4 other episodes coming soon
