That overpowered the stars, but I will have more than a full lunar cycle to see them due to the length of this trip.<\/p><p>Since it\u2019s fall and daylight is waning, I\u2019ll get into the pattern of setting my alarm an hour before sunrise so I can hit the trail when it is bright enough and make the most of it. If I have extra time during the day I can take more breaks at the nice spots, or get to camp a little earlier. I hit the trail a leisurely hour after my alarm which is typical for me. I can do 30 minutes or less if I\u2019m pushing including breakfast, but no need to do that most days.<\/p><p>I recovered well overnight and hit the trail not exactly knowing where I\u2019d end up today. The trail continued through the mostly juniper forest and quickly came to a burn area from last year. They had recently reestablished the trail and it was generally pretty easy going on the mostly flat Kaibab Plateau. I went quickly at first while the sun was low to allow me to go slower later. There wasn\u2019t much for views through the burnt forest, so I didn\u2019t have much reason to stop.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2007892 elementor-widget elementor-widget-penci-image-gallery\" data-id=\"2007892\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"penci-image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div data-sliderid=\"7246\" id=\"penci-image_gallery_7246\"\n             class=\"penci-block-vc penci-image-gallery penci-image-gallery-s1 pencisc-grid-3 pencisc-grid-tablet-2 pencisc-grid-mobile-1\">\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"penci-block_content  pencisc-grid\">\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-1\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_10-11-22_06-57-48-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_10-11-22_06-57-48-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-2\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_10-11-22_08-27-06-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_10-11-22_08-27-06-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-3\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_10-11-22_09-02-21-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_10-11-22_09-02-21-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79a6f58 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"79a6f58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I stopped at a water catchment after the first third of the day and took a break. I had been debating how to manage my water for today. This was the most sure source for the rest of the day, but recent water reports said there was more ahead at a cache and in a cattle trough, so I decided to take enough to get me through those sources with some buffer. Water is the most important thing to manage out here since there is so little of it. I\u2019ve not yet seen a flowing stream, and I don\u2019t expect to see one until the Grand Canyon.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef3a396 elementor-widget elementor-widget-penci-image-gallery\" data-id=\"ef3a396\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"penci-image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div data-sliderid=\"58651\" id=\"penci-image_gallery_58651\"\n             class=\"penci-block-vc penci-image-gallery penci-image-gallery-s1 pencisc-grid-1 pencisc-grid-tablet-2 pencisc-grid-mobile-1\">\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"penci-block_content  pencisc-grid\">\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-1\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_10-11-22_09-21-31-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_10-11-22_09-21-31-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2067996 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2067996\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It was getting warmer after my break and I started slowing down. I was now in mostly pine forest, buried without a possible view in sight. It was just a walk through the woods. Not the most exciting thing for the entire day.<\/p><p>I had to put on an audiobook to keep me trudging forward. I do like the rewards of hiking; the scenic spots, but there just weren\u2019t any today so it came down to doing the miles.<\/p><p>I took a good break at a road crossing and saw my first people on the trail; 2 dayhikers. I took a little water from the cache there which is also where my food was stolen from last year. In a twist of fate, someone had left a bottle of alcohol fuel which was the one thing I had stolen that I couldn\u2019t get replaced last year. The knife to the heart for me. At least there was water there now and a garbage can. I could have gotten away without the water, but since it was there and clean I took some.<\/p><p>As I was about to leave, the first thru-hiker I\u2019ve seen showed up, Cameron. He was headed into town for food, so we went our own ways. I must have passed his camp in the morning without knowing it. It looks like there\u2019s a couple more hikers a day or two ahead of me, and I can\u2019t know behind except maybe spying on the water report, so I\u2019m not sure how many others I will see out here. I was expecting more.<\/p><p>More forest walking for the rest of the day, but the one great change was some clumps of aspen showed up and they were at the height of changing colors and were bright yellow. The sun made them look even brighter, and it picked me up a bit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b3d8eaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-penci-image-gallery\" data-id=\"b3d8eaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"penci-image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div data-sliderid=\"98959\" id=\"penci-image_gallery_98959\"\n             class=\"penci-block-vc penci-image-gallery penci-image-gallery-s1 pencisc-grid-2 pencisc-grid-tablet-2 pencisc-grid-mobile-1\">\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"penci-block_content  pencisc-grid\">\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-1\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_10-11-22_16-20-05-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_10-11-22_16-20-05-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-2\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_10-11-22_16-22-59-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_10-11-22_16-22-59-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29270d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29270d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I hiked to a point where I could make the next good water spot tomorrow for camp which would be nice. Water is really sparse up here, and it\u2019s almost 20 miles tomorrow between good sources. I just pitched in the pines at a flat spot.<\/p><p>I decided to throw a bear line since there was mention of a bear sighting in spring. I made my first throw, but for the first time ever for me the line wrapped around the branch and knotted itself up. It was a brand new bear line too. I couldn\u2019t pull it loose, even by sitting on the line. It was about 15 feet above me and I managed to grab the knot with a stick after a few tries and successfully got it down.
