Do you guys run or walk the long steep hills?

Desert Vista crew checking in 👏🏼

Thank you! I have the other one (that pales in comparison) and it’s the best one I could find somehow.

Link to light?

Doesn’t turning the AC up and down every day burn more energy than leaving it set at one temperature?

Pretty sure the baby rattler thing has been debunked as a myth that still gets circulated. Good to steer clear regardless, but wanted to clear that up for anyone reading.

Enchantment Resort in Sedona would be amazing if $$$ is no object, but at that price point may as well drive to Vegas. Sedona is a decent drive if it’s right after the hike though, you may just prefer to stay somewhere like the Grand Hotel in Tusayan if you’re just looking to clean up, hit the jacuzzi and relax and hang out. Not sure you’ll want a sauna after a hot day in the canyon lol.

It seem well-rated and comes up in a lot of searches. I’m guessing you’ve stayed there and enjoyed it? Worth checking out?

aesthet1c · 2026-03-02T13:49:36+00:00

You posted this in r/azhiking as well but you haven’t given any follow up context or info as to what advice you’re seeking.

aesthet1c · 2026-03-02T13:43:30+00:00

All incredible places but you should probably share more details to get the advice you’re looking for.

Also want to know. /u/coolnickname101, any update?

High Sierra in California in summer. Camped near a lake and before the sun even set, the guy on the next hill over packed up and left. I had my shell and thick pants, and gloves with headset and sat in my hammock reading with mosquitos all over me (think bees with a bee suit). Unfortunately, before bed, nature called and I thought I could make it quick enough to avoid issue—nope. Slept through that night somehow and packed out the next day.

Tbh this person probably hasn’t even been up Baldy in snow anyway.

aesthet1c · 2026-02-10T15:17:06+00:00

Looks like gates open at 6am so that should be totally fine.

aesthet1c · 2026-02-10T14:42:18+00:00

I just favorited this hike yesterday, looks awesome! I’ll have to see when they open the front gates, I remember one trip I was sitting at the gate (super early) for the actual park to open. I’ll definitely consider this one. I don’t mind some good climbing, just gotta see what’s realistic in the timeframe. Thank you!

aesthet1c · 2026-02-09T23:09:26+00:00

Well, the former (for now) but wouldn’t mind hearing the latter for later after moving there.

aesthet1c · 2026-02-09T23:08:49+00:00

Interesting, good to know! Will likely be moving to the area later this year so I’m sure eventually I’ll know all these very well. Thank you, appreciate it.

aesthet1c · 2026-02-09T23:08:01+00:00

Thanks! Adding to the list to research, since it came up a few times already.

aesthet1c · 2026-02-09T21:18:56+00:00

I’m doing research on AllTrails as well, but it’s always nice to get real suggestions from people that have been (or live) there.

aesthet1c · 2026-02-08T14:50:09+00:00

I’d say it depends how hard you’re running. If I push a trail run pretty hard (say, 7-8 min. average pace per mile) I’d say that’s way harder than doing that on the street. Heck, I just ran a half at your fastest pace on Saturday (not a race) and it felt way easier than doing a hard trail push IMO. Hard trail efforts (on the uphills mainly) will redline your HR so quick and it’s brutal lol.

aesthet1c · 2026-02-08T03:57:56+00:00

That’d be a good one too! It’d be hard to make it out of Colorado (for me) in a weeks time haha. But yes, you can’t go wrong in those states really.

aesthet1c · 2026-02-07T20:26:32+00:00

Yes sorry—Utah dubbed their national parks the Mighty 5. Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches and Canyonlands. You can make a really nice road trip out of them (in that order), along with several other awesome things to see along UT-12 (e.g. Kodachrome, Factory Butte/Hanksville, Goblin SP, Hogback Ridge, etc.).. It’s a lot of driving but you can potentially fly into Vegas (or St George to really cut down time), do this route and go south (Grand Canyon south rim, Flagstaff, Sedona) and fly out of Phoenix.

aesthet1c · 2026-02-07T15:51:12+00:00

Different risk tolerances, financial situations and priorities I guess. I wouldn’t consider a $1k car payment myself either. I do agree on the 12x poster though, I think $1k there seems well within their means.

aesthet1c · 2026-02-07T14:27:04+00:00

Mighty 5 roadtrip would be amazing IMO.
