Happy on Humphreys

After a rainy night of camping, I got a little later start than I wanted to but I got started up Humphreys at about 8am.  The lush jungle of a forest as I began to climb put a big smile on my face.  Just as I approached the saddle, the steeper climbing and elevation combined to remind me that this is the tallest mountain in Arizona.  There was a lot of weather in the high country this weekend and beyond the saddle is known to be hazardous in those conditions.  I checked the radar on my phone and went for it.  The top of Humphreys did not disappoint.  I lingered at the top for quite a while talking with other hikers and soaking in the views.  It was truly an amazing experience!  This was hike #2 for my Labor Day Weekend challenge of three mountains in three days.
