Sunrise on the north side of Arizona’s highest p Sunrise on the north side of Arizona’s highest peak, from the Arizona Trail’s Passage 34. Whether you call them the San Francisco Peaks, Mt. Humphreys, Nuva’tukya’ovi, Dook’o’ooslid, Dzil Cho, or another name…this ancient volcano is a wonder to behold, especially after a fresh dusting of snow. Sending our best wishes to participants in the Flagstaff to Grand Canyon Stagecoach Line Ultra, presented by Babbitt Ranches, happening today! Runners and mountain bikers left Flagstaff at sunrise on their way to the finish line in Tusayan. Gratitude to all the volunteers helping with course marking, aid stations, communications, and so much more. This annual event benefits the ATA, and supports our mission to protect and maintain the AZT. Learn more about our endurance events at runazt.org. We are grateful to be able to organize this event on lands managed by the US Forest Service, Coconino County, Babbitt Ranches, and The Nature Conservancy. These are the ancestral lands of the Hopi, Navajo, Apache, Hualapai, Havasupai, Zuni, Acoma, Southern Paiute, and other indigenous nations. #trailrunning #ultra #stagecoachultra #sanfranciscopeaks #flagstaff #visitaz @stagecoach100 @u.s.forestservice @babbittranches
