AZ suggestions for Jan.
Hey everyone, I just decided to make use of my winter break and I was thinking about going to Arizona next week. I've never posted here before, but I'm hoping somebody here could help me out. I could stand to kill 5-6 days and I'd like to stay in the lower elevations to avoid the snow. National Parks are out. Anyways, I just started thinking about it so if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. Thanks.

akiak,

OK. Here's where to go in AZ and avoid snow:

1. Palm Canyon--totally cool and no one knows about it. Has the only native palm trees in the state. Do you climb?

2. Eagle Tail Wilderness area--again, assuming you want to get AWAY from people. I saw more wildlife here in one weekend than ANY other place I've been to in the state...

3. Devils Canyon (Upper and Lower)--besides hiking, nice bouldering and climbing spots

4. Aravapai (sp) Canyon--I haven't been there, but I heard it's rugged and wild

5. The Sierra Anchas--buy a guide before you go, there's tons of indian ruins back there

6. Buckskin Gulch--one of the prettiest areas in the state. It's a ravine though, so the skies have to be clear before you set off to go hiking (or else you will be wisked away in a flash flood)

shoot, I can think of a million places to go...

Awsome, thanks Biz!
In response to your questions...
no, I don't think I'm a troll, I'm of average height and, well, my mom told me I was pretty once. I'm a beginning climber, but all I'm gonna do on this trip is hike. Just doing some last minute planning and you gave me a good start, thanks a ton, I'll let you know how it goes!
