Arizona extreme adventures with Henley Phillips

Meet adventurer, thru-hiker, mountain biker, backpacker,
ultra-runner, hiker, and camper Henley Phillips. Based in Tucson,
Arizona, Henley has taken on outdoor adventures across the world.
He loves coming up with creative ways to explore new areas and
connect destinations on the map with the trail less traveled.
Henley will inspire you to try something new, explore more, and
savor each moment you can in nature.

We begin the show talking about Henley's 64-hour adventure across
southern Arizona, running up the five highest summits around
Tucson and linking the trailheads by bike. You can read more
about his experience at bikepacking.com. We also hear about
Henley's extreme adventure journey in Australia, which you can
watch a video on HERE.

This April, Henley is attempting a multi-sport (hiking and
biking) yo-yo (northbound and back again) adventure on the
Arizona National Scenic Trail, which is 800 miles long one-way,
spanning the length of Arizona from Mexico to Utah. Follow along
with his adventures on Instagram at henley.phillips. If you want
a taste of the Arizona Trail, try its access point right from
Oracle State Park.
