Training for Kilimanjaro Machame
November 30th, 2009 by admin
Today I hiked Camelback mountain in Phoenix Arizona to prepare for my hike to Mt. Kilimanajaro. Mount Kilimanjaro is located in Tanzania, Africa and is the highest mountain in Africa. It’s also the only place with snow that is so close to the equator. Camelback mountain in phoenix is not Kili but it’s a good workout and training hike for the machame kilimanjaro route. I had a 15 lb pack. The mountain is only 1200 ft high and about 2.5 miles. I did it in 50 minutes and was pretty tired. I better get working on it if I am to summit kilimanjaro.
