On Sunday, Sept. 8, a group of four “B” hikers headed for Flagstaff to hike Kendrick Peak, one of the highest peaks in northern Arizona, with an elevation of 10,413 feet. They followed that up on Monday with a hike to the summit of Humphreys Peak, the highest point in Arizona at 12,633 feet. The weather was great on both days, but the Kendrick’s Peak hike was very windy. Fortunately, the conditions on the following day for the hike to Humphreys Peak were about as nice as it gets, with no wind. The total distance for the two hikes was almost 20 miles with an elevation gain of 6,000 feet—quite a two-day workout. Visit the club’s website at pchikers.org for more information and pictures.
