Ragged Top - Ironwood Forest National Monument
This was my third time to the summit of Ragged Top (3,907 feet), and my second time up the south gully. I prefer the south gully to the north gully. My hike was 5.2 miles round-trip, and it took me 5 hours and 27 minutes. It is the biological and geological crown jewel of the Ironwood Forest National Monument.

Humphreys Peak - Coconino National Forest
Humphreys Peak (12,633 feet), is the highest point in Arizona. It is part of the San Francisco Volcanic Field. This was my fifth hike up the mountain. My hike was 9.3 miles round-trip, and it took me 8 hours. The beginning of the trail was rerouted due to construction, which actually made it slightly shorter.
