Today is a dull day: 25+ miles of hiking along the Hayden Rhodes Aqueduct through the Cactus Plains, into Bouse to resupply, and walk out of town. I had some less-than-welcoming encounters with the town folk in Bouse, a place I hope to never go back to!
This thru hiking vlog series follows Eric Poulin as he hikes the Mojave-Sonoran Trail, a NEW 625-mile cross country thru hiking route connecting southern Nevada with southern Arizona via the Colorado River corridor. The MST can be hiked from Nov-Mar making it an excellent winter thru hiking route for desert hikers and those seeking a warm weather backpacking trip in the winter months.
I hiked 600+ miles over 46 days, with 9 zero days, to complete the Mojave-Sonoran Trail in Nov/Dec 2021.
Mojave-Sonoran Trail Route Info & Maps:
Visit [ Ссылка ] for more info on the Mojave-Sonoran Trail. Here, I've compiled a guide that will help anyone who wishes to hike the MST route get started with their planning... detailed trail journal, extensive photo documentation, an interactive map and GPX file, water source info/locations/notes, etc.
Section 7 of the Mojave-Sonoran Trail is a 92 mile hike from Lake Havasu City to Bouse. A $2 ferry ride across Lake Havasu takes me into California, where I'll hike the Whipple Mountains. The Whipple Wash and it's spectacular canyons are the highlight of this range. I hitch across the Parker Dam to enter Arizona again, and hike up to the rim of "The Mesa" in the Buckskin Mountains. This gives a nice overlook of the Bill Williams River National Wildlife Refuge. I hike out of the mountains and follow the Hayden-Rhodes Aqueduct across the Cactus Plains into Bouse to resupply.
