Solo backpacking the AZT, Part 1 - Passages 39-43

A video chronicle of my Arizona Trail solo backpacking trip from Grand Canyon rim, north to the border of Utah in September of 2026. Late summer monsoons were problematic and I bailed twice on the trail for shelter at local lodges. Forest fire and heavy rains impacted trail conditions for much of the route. The catastrophic flooding in Bright Angel Creek down the N. Kaibab trail had occurred just two weeks prior to my departure.
