I moved to Tucson a few months ago, and would love to hike with and/or grab a beer with other long distance backpackers that live in the area. Most of my friends live in other states. I’ve been doing sections of the AZT on weekends solo but would really like to hike with others who have experience with long distance hiking/ trails or just get together and talk about trails lol.

    I’m moving to flag in 2 weeks. I thru hiked the whole azt in 2022 so I’m excited to live so close to the trail. Something really sacred about it to me

      I feel this. The “hike the trail” -> “move to trail town” pipeline is real

        Dude! It’s hilarious. I know people from the cdt that relocated to Leadville, pct people that moved to Ashland or Bend. I love the thru hiking community so much I’m excited to be surrounded by more of us.

      Totally. I feel that. I moved from a PCT trail town to an AZT trail town haha. Enjoy Flagstaff, it’s awesome!
