We ended up hiking out 3 miles past town, loaded with a few road beers, a couple of pounds of candy, and blasting Latin dance hits. We made our way to a brewery where we spent several hours hiding from the heat of the day and enjoying ourselves. The town today still has an odd feeling to it, but the people were friendly. CO City has a pretty crazy past (you should google it) and 10 years ago hikers would not have been a welcome sight in town. Often times the word vagabond is used in a slightly negative connotation, I personally think that people are just jealous of freedom.Īfter walking across the Arizona Strip, we hit highway 389 and did a 7-mile road walk into Colorado City, AZ. On May 22nd I did 21.9 miles to Lee Pass and finished the Hayduke. On May 21st I did 22.7 Miles to Lava Point in Zion NP.
On May 20th I did 12.9 miles to Pine Creek in Zion NP. On May 19th I did 18.7 miles to the East Fork of the Virgin River. On May 18th I did 14.5 miles to Water Canyon.
