This trail is challenging, leading to the summit of Arizona's highest peak, with a significant elevation gain of 3,356 feet. Watch your footing, as this section of the route is pretty rocky terrain. Once you're above the treeline, prepare for exposure to wind and sun, with the potential for afternoon storms, especially during the late summer months. There is some necessary scrambling as you get close to the summit—with the great reward of incredible panoramic views when you reach the top.
