What better way to celebrate a fall birthday than to hike the highly visited Inner Basin Trail at Humphrey’s Peak in Flagstaff, Arizona. So highly visited during October there was a park ranger enforcing a 50 car minimum to park at the trailhead. Nevertheless, with Josh’s friends in town from Wyoming and Portland we were set on waiting it out (which only turned out to be about 30 minutes). After hiking 30 minutes or so into the trail, we hit the thicker grove of aspens with their golden yellow leaves. Compared to the first time Josh, Nick and I did this trail all the way up to Humphrey’s Peak, this felt like a walk in the park. The first part of the hike with the aspen grove is well suited for kids and dogs. If you attempt this during October it will be a great experience, just be prepared for the wait!
