Snow in June in Arizona

Snow in June is not such a strange thing.  Hiking in Alaska, for example, it's not uncommon at all to find snow on the trail.  Hiking in Arizona is generally a different matter.  In much of the state, June hiking is a hot and downright dangerous affair because of the heat.  No snow allowed!  But this is the trail to Humphrey's Peak, at about 9000 feet of elevation.  And in the middle of June, this is what I found.

I was just training that day, breaking in new shoes and testing my high-elevation comfort level.

I plan to go back before summer ends and do the whole trail.  And I'll certainly post about it.
