Arizona Trail

The Arizona Trail covers over eight hundred miles of scenic trails from Mexico to Utah that go across Arizona. There is ninety-six percent of the trail completed connecting people, communities, canyons, deserts and mountains. The mission of the Association for the trail is maintaining, promote, build, sustain and protect the trail.

There are a number of features for visitors to enjoy along the Arizona Trail. The trail has a number of natural features, remote wilderness, geologic wonders and quaint communities. There are both historic and prehistoric sites found on the trail. Kentucky Camp mining history, Roosevelt Dam, and the Grand Canyon National Park trails and tourism structures from 1900 can be found on the Arizona Trail. There are also cliff dwellings at the Walnut Canyon and Tonto National Monuments.

The Arizona Trail experience is diverse for those that wish to visit it. Fall and spring are the best times to hike on the trail since the summer is too hot and the winter brings the danger of snow. Fall and spring are when temperatures are most favorable on the trail.
