We decided to head to Hualapai Mountain outside Kingman Arizona. We camped here in the past, and remembered it having hiking trails, and also being a bit cooler than it would be on the desert floor. Besides, it was only about a 2-hour drive from Vegas. The Woman really didn’t want to do an overnight, either in Colectiva II or by staying in a nearby AirBnB. So, the short drive would allow us to go, hike a bunch, and have a nice picnic lunch – our favorite!
At its peak, Hualapai is about 8,500 feet tall. While we didn’t actually climb the peak, most of the park is over 6,000 feet high – enough to give us about a 20-degree break on the temperature. While there were a few folks around, it wasn’t at all busy. We hiked around on the mountain, and pretty much stuck to the areas where great views of the valley were displayed. We managed to get all our steps in while there, and had a pleasant lunch. All in all, an excellent outing!
We hope to be talking to you soon.
