Round Hump is a circumnavigation of Mt. Humphreys, the highest point in Arizona and the site of an ancient mega volcanic explosion that cut the mountain down to just over 12,600 ft elevation. The route covers 32 miles with 3750 ft of gain and elevation ranges between 8,000 ft and 9,800 ft. The connection of iconic trails are just high enough on the foothills of the San Francisco peaks to see for miles and miles through windows framed by ponderosa pine and Aspen trees.
