From the 2022-02-11-dalelotts capture: On February 11, 2022, I embarked on the formidable Echo Canyon Trail in Arizona, an intense and challenging hike that tests the limits of endurance. This 1.23-mile trail climbs steeply, gaining about 1,280 feet in elevation from 1,424 feet to 2,704 feet above sea level. The ascent was relentless, with rugged terrain and dramatic inclines. Along the way, I was keenly aware of the multiple helicopter evacuation points for hikers who might struggle with the trail's demands, especially in the scorching summer heat. Each step brought a mix of exhilaration and caution, surrounded by breathtaking vistas that made every bit of the effort worthwhile. The images captured during this hike reveal the raw beauty and intensity of the trail, inviting all to explore this exhilarating yet perilous adventure.
