Is this the Arizona License Plate?
The picture on the Arizona license plate is perfect for the state, and one that is very recognizable. On this hike, I revisited a peak that I have summited twice before. During my first visit to this peak, I began to think about the license plate, and if this was the actual location it was taken from or based on. So I waited until the sun was at the right location in the sky, and I made the hike once again to get some footage and figure it out.

Climbing Battle Axe Butte - Superior, AZ
Просмотров 255Месяц назад
Battle Axe Butte is located about 10 miles south of Superior, AZ, to the west of Highway 177. A few dirt roads lead out to the base of the mountain, and the first ~ two miles should be ok for a passenger car. My brother and I took my other brother's 4Runner so we could get to the base, and we began the climb up from there. This was another fun desert peak which does have a couple of 4th or 5th ...

While we were there, a firefighting helicopter collected water from the lake many times, and took the water a few miles south to dump on the wildfire. Both the kids and the adults enjoyed seeing the helicopter in actio...

Strides are a great way to get into better shape for hiking. Compared to distance running, they may be a better alternative form of training, especially if you are looking to save time and improve your ability to go up steeper slopes. In this video, I talk about what strides are, how to go about doing them, and why you should do them as a hiker.
