    The Superstition Mountains are absolutely my favorite place to hike in Arizona. Great views and easy access from the city. This video really captured the beauty of the area. Just wonderful. I camp out there 5-10 times a year and just love it.
    It's also very popular so is a great choice for solo people just starting out. Lots of different trails to hike and plenty of trailheads. The only downside is that the trails are completely exposed and it's pretty easy to get overheated. Everyone, please be careful and carry plenty of water!

      Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching! I agree. This is a great area to try out solo backpacking, especially during the cooler months. I got the feeling no one really comes out here during the summer because it gets so hot and it's really exposed. I was so thankful I had my umbrella, even in February!
      I also agree with you - carry plenty of water. There were water warnings at the trailhead. We were lucky when we came to visit, there was water everywhere, but understand that it isn't always like that out there. What a beautiful place. I can't wait to come back and visit again.

    Anza Borrego Desert State Park in San Diego County has lots of great winter hiking ! One of the largest state parks in the country.

      Absolutely!!! There's a lot of great winter hiking down south, especially in the San Diego area.

    Really nice video! This is one of the places on my bucket list. I'm considering a single wall tent like one you have in this video for my planned SOBO PCT hike in 2026. However, I've been using a Marmot EOS1 (now discontinued) or the last few years and found it to be very light, waterproof, easy to set up being a free standing and very high quality. It only weighs a little over 2 lbs. The only down side is that the living space is tight. I'm looking at the Marmot Tungsten UL as an option as well. I like Marmot tents because they are very high quality and my experience with the EOS has been outstanding. Growing up I mainly used tarps for shelter but I stopped once I had too many bug experiences.

    What were the overnight temps when you were there? I'm on vacation next week and would love to explore those mountains with my dogs.

    • @TheHungryHiker
      @TheHungryHiker  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We were out here mid February and I believe the overnight night temps were anywhere from high 40s to mid 30s. The first night was colder than our second night. By now, I'm sure the temps are starting to warm up so overnight night temps will probably be a bit warmer for you while you're there. Have fun!

    You should try hiking in Cochise County AZ. I think you would enjoy Heart Of The Rocks.

    I've seen a few TH-cam videos on that range before. Of course those videos usually start with something along the lines of ..

    • @TheHungryHiker

      Maybe because they know how special this place is and they're trying to keep others for wanting to explore this area themselves? Or it could be clickbait. There are some interesting legends that come from these mountains though.

    This trip looks beautiful but all I can thinks about is how HARDCORE Chevelle’s jump was!!!
    Also, thanks for showing the setup of GG The One. Your demo looks the least intimidating of any I’ve seen so far and for some reason the price point was much higher in my brain.

    • @TheHungryHiker
      @TheHungryHiker  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Chevelle's jump was hardcore and I'm so happy I caught it on video because I don't think I would've believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes.
      Also, I couldn't believe how easy setting up The One was! I like to practice setting up a new tent a few times at home before going on a trip, but since it's been snowing where I live, I never had the chance to practice before heading to Arizona. I watched a couple TH-cam videos and then winged it out on trail. Once I figured out the basis of setting up the tent like how tall my poles needed to be and the order that everything needs to be set up, it was a breeze and took no time at all.
