The river was low, just over 3000 feet, and I had to climb to almost 6000. I was glad I was hitting the climb first thing in the morning when it was cooler, and some of it was even shaded since the sun wasn\u2019t yet high enough in the sky. The climb was nicely graded, and I plugged away at it until I got to a pass that signaled the end of it. I took a nice break there and enjoyed the view of the trail behind, where I could trace my path over part of the last 4 days. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a good or bad thing that I can see 4 days\u2019 worth of progress; it seems like maybe I should have progressed further in that time, but the route was not in any way straight, and I had a town stop in there.<\/p><p>I turned my back on the trail behind and charged forward into the Mazatzals. At first the range was like high rolling mountains. The trail danced between peaks and passes and canyons, winding its way through the mountains. It was a wilderness area, and there were really no signs of man besides the cuts for the trails; I was surprised and expected to see more old roads or ranches or something. Maybe the area had never been that developed.<\/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-a147514 elementor-widget elementor-widget-penci-image-gallery\" data-id=\"a147514\" 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=\"27121\" id=\"penci-image_gallery_27121\"\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_10-30-22_14-02-38-768x512.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_10-30-22_14-02-38-1170x780.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_10-30-22_12-26-24-768x512.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_10-30-22_12-26-24-1170x780.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-49e708e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"49e708e\" 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 took many pictures today since the terrain was constantly changing as I moved around and got different views of the area.

It was quite loud.<\/p><p>I didn\u2019t see anyone today, apart from Rob and Jill in the morning. This was one of my best days on trail so far, and I still have a lot more of this wilderness area to traverse before I come to the end of it. I\u2019m excited to see what else is in store.<\/p><p>It was a tiring day with more than 6000 feet total of climbing.
