The Mountains of Arizona

Welcome to my Arizona peaks page, where I track my climbs, hikes and drives to the mountains in Arizona. I moved to Phoenix in 1992 and started humbly, hiking Camelback Mountain that fall (and many times thereafter). I hiked a few other peaks in the ensuing years, including the state highpoint, Humphreys Peak, a number of times between 1994 and 2003. In 1999 I became interested in the county highpoints, and I completed the fifteen Arizona county highpoints in June 2000, and a second time in December 2006. My interests then shifted toward the state's most prominent peaks, and these days, anything interests me. I enjoy the variety that the state has to offer, the challenges getting to a peak and actually climbing it, and learning about the history of the region while doing my research and while in the field.
