ARIZONA BACKPACKING TRIP VLOG / I went on an incredible backpacking trip in Arizona that had so much water! We started by hiking to a popular swimming spot where most people go for a day hike. Then we traveled further up the canyon for a few hours which required us to swim through a lot of water with our backpacks on. It was my favorite part of our entire backpacking trip! We eventually climbed out of the canyon (avoiding all the poison ivy!), and found a small clearing to pitch a tent for the night. This was not your typical desert hiking experience. This hike was not on a defined trail, and once youre in the canyon, its VERY difficult to find a spot to camp. Therefore, I dont have a specific hiking trail name/recommendation for this one. If you plan to go backpacking in Arizona, please do your research before your trip. The conditions in the desert can be extreme, and its important to be prepared before you go! ____________________________________________ ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: 7 Tips for Desert Hiking (that you NEED to know): https://youtu.be/Lj8bQtxbDPk How to Pack a Backpack for An Overnight Hike: https://youtu.be/-HC061wTgUI 3 Delicious Backpacking Oatmeal Recipes: https://youtu.be/D0oDhr7gHdI ____________________________________________ SOME RECOMMENDED GEAR: My favorite hiking shirt: http://bit.ly/2T4qMrk The BEST hiking socks: http://bit.ly/2TfN90k Patagonia Wetsuit Top: http://bit.ly/2Qa8nc5 Re-usable bags for holding snacks: https://amzn.to/2LoDnpR My favorite nut butter packets for a quick snack: https://amzn.to/2Y5HB7h Osprey Eja Ultralight Backpack: http://bit.ly/2RGe2Hd Big Agnes Q-core SLX Sleeping Pad: http://bit.ly/2EeLmlT Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter: https://amzn.to/2Yqh057 Black Diamond ReVolt Headlamp: http://bit.ly/2C07xIY NEMO Ultralight 2P Backpacking Tent: http://bit.ly/2UWW3BG Western Mountaineering Sleeping Bag: http://bit.ly/2E8Jk6U ____________________________________________ SAY HI Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amandaoutside/ Blog: https://amandaoutside.com/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/amandaoutside/ NOTE: This video is NOT sponsored.
