Arizona Trail Episode 12, Miles 458-500 MOGOLLON RIM
Hey y'all, I'm finally climbing my way out of the desert and it's like a whole new world. In this one I have a surprise encounter, cross Mile 500 and see the transition from Arizona's Transition Zone to the Colorado Plateau where it is cooler and flatter. My mind is telling me I' should be able to crank out bigger miles now, but my body doesn't seem to agree
