Got a late start coming in from Nevada all night driving from Boundary Peak, NV. Got to bed at 2am and up around 7am to get started on Humphreys. Luckily it’s a pretty easy 12,000’ mountain. Not much exposure or slope angle. Great trail and the weather was great.

Was able to locate the wreckage of a B24 Bomber that crashed on the side of the mountain in 1944 during a night training run killing all 8 crew members.
