#GraniteMountain. A hiking tribute to the 19 hotshot firefighters who perished here in 2003. The panels for each victim as well as the sun lights make this memorial trail special. A real invitation to think about firefighters selflessness. #americanpilgrimages #PelerinagesAmericains #granitemountainhotshots #hotshots #firefighters #arizona #yarnell19 #travel #usa #America #AmericanHistory #memorialtrail #sunlight #gmihc #onlythebrave #lineoffire

#Hotshots "Eric Marsh was my only son. He was the leader of the Granite Mountain Hotshots. After the tragedy, people left thousands of tributes at the fence of the fire station. We display some in this Tribute and Learning center. Like these fire departments T-shirts from all over. And we tell here the story of the 19 Hotshots. Working here brings healing."

#BikingPilgrimage "Yes, I've been to the Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial. With a group of firefighters from the US and Canada, we took a biking trip to Prescott. We love to ride our motorbikes, but this time it was very special. 19 of our brothers died fighting fire. That's the most in one day since 9/11. We wanted to pay them tribute with our ride." (see 📸2) #firefamily Thanks @wesforbach for the interview and the fire station visit. Keep up with your biking Pilgrimages. #americanpilgrimages #PelerinagesAmericains #GraniteMountain #hotshots #wildfirefighting #granitemountainhotshots #firemen #flagstaff #arizona #yarnell19 #travel #usa #memorial

#InMemoryOfOurHeroes "So you went to Granite Mountain because you saw my pictures of the Hotshots Memorial?! That makes me so happy. Not many people know about the death of the 19 Hotshots. I feel I am on a mission to bring awaress of it. I am a hiker, and without firefighters protecting the trails, I would not be able to do all these hikes in Arizona. So now, whenever I hike on a summit, I bring the Memorial flag. I have already hiked 15 times the Granite Mountain Memorial Trail. But I want to do it 19 times, one for each of the Yarnell 19 who died" #PilgrimHeart Thanks @sean_rosic for your interview and your gifts. I am glad we could meet at last in Phoenix. #americanpilgrimages #PelerinagesAmericains #granitemountainhotshots #granitemountain #hotshots #firefighters #firemen #wildfirefighting #yarnell19 #travel #usa #America #memorial #tribute #arizona
