Cracked: Stories from the Arizona Trail Race
The Arizona National Scenic Trail is an 800-mile,
mostly singletrack route from Mexico to Utah,
winding through Arizona’s diverse backcountry.
It is one of the premier long distance trails in the US.
Every fall, a group of bikepackers gathers at the Mexico
border for the opportunity to test themselves against
the trail, each other, and Arizona’s unforgiving landscapes.
This is a non-stop and self-supported
unofficial race to the Utah border called the Arizona Trail Race, or AZT800.
Throughout the event, racers can call in and
leave messages with stories from the trail.
This is a compilation of those stories, a look at how the
2024 event unfolded through the words of the racers.
Big thanks to ...

The Range of Light: Skiing Roper's Sierra High Route
Просмотров 10 тыс.5 лет назад
The Sierra High Route is a 200 mile off-trail route running South to North along the Sierra Crest in California. It parallels the John Muir Trail, but stays mostly above treeline and covers more rugged terrain. It is the brainchild of Steve Roper, and relatively few people have completed it, especially in winter. Sachin Sawant, Matt Fox, and Aaron Johnson skied the entire route in April of 2019.

    What an incredible experience you guys must have had. So you carried 3 or 4 days of food to the resupply and planned for 7 days or did you exceed the planned mileage? I hiked the JMT when I was 20 and now I've got this winter SHR bug in my late 40's. So psyched on this video, thanks for doing it. Would love to hear about how your logistic plan versus how reality played out.
