Last night was the Geminid Meteor Shower and @trailsinspire founder @desertsirena saw over 100 meteors in the space of several hours in the Tortolita Mountains north of Tucson. Though she didn’t catch any of the big ones on camera, she had a lot of fun light painting in the desert and watching the show. . . 📍Ancestral land of the O’odham and Yaqui

Art "Karts" Huseonica just became the oldest person to Yo-yo the Arizona Trail in a calendar year at 67 years old! He hiked northbound to Utah in the spring and southbound to Mexico this fall. At 12:00 pm on 12/12, he reached the end of his 1600-mile journey. @trailsinspire founder @desertsirena was there to surprise him and some friends at Montezuma Pass yesterday and hiked the final miles with him. Way to go! . . 📍Ancestral lands of the O'odham and Chiricahua Apache

Happy International Mountain day! Do you have a favorite mountain? . . Photo from the Santa Rita Mountains, Mount Wrightson Wilderness in Southern Arizona by @desertsirena . . 📍Ancestral land of the O’odham and Yaqui

North Rim Grand Canyon today: our friend Li Brannfors sent two amazing photos of the snow and clouds! Pinch and zoom to see Brahma and Zoroaster Temples rising from the clouds. . . . North Rim facilities have been closed since October 15th and the road leading to it closed on the 3rd and won’t open until May 15th. The Kaibab Plateau and North Rim are at 8000-9000 feet elevation and are isolated from the rest of the state because of that big hole in the ground. Li is at the North Rim working for @grandcanyonnps and isn’t on social media, but he gave us permission to share this dreamy landscape. . . 📍Ancestral lands of the Kaibab Paiute and Ute

Trails Inspire founder @desertsirena was interviewed by the local @npr station, @kjzzphoenix for a story on diversity in the outdoors. She talks about her current project, Day Hikes on the Arizona National Scenic Trail with @wildernesspress and why representation of diverse populations in outdoor images is so important. . . There are three parts to the Take A Hike article, make sure to check out the other episodes on solo hiking and hiking with disabilities as well. Link in bio. Thank you to @stinasieg for a wonderful series! “In the final installment of KJZZ's series about hiking and diversity, we meet a woman who wants people from all walks of life to take a hike.” . . Video @desertsirena enjoying fall colors on the Arizona Trail on Mount Lemmon near Tucson. . . 📍Ancestral lands of the Tohono O'odham, O'odham and Pascua Yaqui.

Three views of tonight’s sunset in Tucson, Arizona. Fluffy cotton candy clouds and colors that must be seen to be believed! Photos and video by @desertsirena . . 📍Ancestral lands of the O’odham, Tohono O’odham and Pascua Yaqui
