At first it was a racket in the canyon, but apparently their flight path was right over my trail, and I was being buzzed every minute or so only 100 feet above my head! How absurdly obnoxious. I couldn\u2019t even sit there and enjoy the view because of the capitalist pestilence. It is amazing the park lest them do that, so close to the trail, but I guess money talks even for the government. It pretty much ruined my hike today, the constant noise. I\u2019ve had the same thought in the canyon where you would think you can just enjoy nature, but not so.<\/p><p>I was obviously in a foul mood, and just stormed down the trail. I wanted to stay but I just couldn\u2019t. I didn\u2019t escape it until I got back into forest away from the rim. Needless to say, I did give each helicopter a salute that they could probably see because they were close enough. No picture of that. From there, the trail was relatively uneventful.<\/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-0b2b3ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-penci-image-gallery\" data-id=\"0b2b3ff\" 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=\"39639\" id=\"penci-image_gallery_39639\"\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_10-14-22_10-06-21-768x512.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_10-14-22_10-06-21-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-2\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_10-14-22_11-03-37-768x512.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_10-14-22_11-03-37-1170x780.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_10-14-22_12-16-34-768x512.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_10-14-22_12-16-34-1170x780.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-4\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AZT_10-14-22_07-52-39-768x512.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_10-14-22_07-52-39-1170x780.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-b86c3cd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b86c3cd\" 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 arrived at the North Rim area and got a hiker spot at the campground. I\u2019ve got a permit for in the canyon tomorrow night, so another shorter day gives my body a chance to rest. I also found some stove fuel at the general store to replace my sooty isopropyl alcohol. I\u2019ve got yet another campsite right on the rim of the canyon, though this one will be my last. It was a good run, and I love the canyon, but there are just some very commercialized aspects to it.\u00a0<\/p><p>A number of other AZT hikers showed up and we chatted until past hiker midnight. Cameron (now dubbed Freeze), Koala, Kaitlyn, Break, and Mora. Mora is from Israel and got off trail for a week because she tripped on a literal trip wire someone had set across the trail. She fell and smashed her nose and got a concussion. However, she was now back on the trail. I was shocked to hear that someone would set a trip wire on a hiking trail, and embarrassed that a foreign hiker visiting America had to experience it. C\u2019mon people, what is the point of that?
