Sky Living: Touching the Sky on Humphreys Peak Trail

More from this show

Climb into the alpine world of Flagstaff, Arizona, as we hike the Humphreys Peak Trail, the highest point in the state, and the scenic Kendrick Peak Trail.

As the elevation rises, learn essential outdoor tips for high-altitude hiking, including pacing, hydration and preparing for sudden weather shifts that can turn a sunny ascent into a stormy descent. The journey reveals how elevation shapes the landscape, transitioning through distinct environmental biomes from ponderosa pine forests to fragile alpine tundra.

Experience the beauty and challenge of Arizona’s rooftop and the unique world that exists where the sky feels close enough to touch.
