This past spring I had the pleasure of hiking the Grand Inchamma Trail from Pick a Post Mountain to Albuquerque and for the potential benefit of future hikers I thought I'd put together a quick and dirty guide to aspects of the trail and descending order of importance. First and foremost it's worth considering the season of travel. I chose to hike in the spring of a wet winter and as such water was great but any springtime through hike of the Grand Inchamma Trail will involve going through the Mogion Mountains in the Hila country sometime in March or April and according to the US Forest Service average nighttime temperatures at 5600 feet Hila hot springs is 25 degrees in April. So check the weather and pack accordingly. Secondly navigation seems to be concerned for the Grand Inchamma Trail because it's a route and not a officially designated trail and so the use of some navigational tool is pretty much essential. I benefited from using a dedicated Garmin GPS device as well as a smartphone with backcountry navigator. If one device failed usually the other device did not fail at the same time so I always had a navigational redundancy. There are also a few town concerns to be aware of. It's worth noting that all of the Arizona Trail Towns are in the Copper Quarter which is a productive mining district in southern Arizona and as such the hotels in these Trail Towns have a tendency to fill up with seasonal mine workers so if you can call ahead for hotel rooms it's probably not a bad idea. I had the pleasure of meeting 12 other through hikers in the two months that I was on the GET and I did end up doing a lot of solo hiking before I bumped into some other travelers so it's worth considering that if you would like company on your hike you may consider talking a friend into through hiking it with you. Also trail conditions change in the backcountry sometimes unexpectedly and frequently so it's good to have an adventurous attitude while also hiking smart. Bottom line don't take my word for it.
