Episode 185: How Art Brody Set the Unsupported Arizona Trail FKT

Category
Person-Person

Last fall, Art Brody set the unsupported record on the Arizona Trail. Yes, the unsupported record. This means he traversed over 800 miles of desert, mountains, and canyons with absolutely no outside help. No trail magic beer. No water from caches. No food resupplies, or the reassurance of picking up new gear if something breaks. He even had to pack out all of his trash.

The hurdles associated with this unsupported attempt began before Art even started. Just to step foot on the trail, Art had to shoulder his 87-pound pack.

Description

Timm’s Hill is the highest point in the state of Wisconsin. At 1951’ it’s one of the shorter state high points but still offers a great view from the wooden lookout tower. You can drive close to the tower but the Timm’s Hill National Trail provides a connecting spur from the tower to the much longer Ice Age Trail. The trail is 9.1 miles long with 1200’ of elevation gain going north (‘uphill’).
