Arizona Trail

The Arizona Trail is a 820 mile non-motorized trail that traverses the State from Mexico to Utah. The Arizona Trail is intended to be a primitive, long distance trail that highlights the state's topographic, biologic, historic and cultural diversity. The trail's primary users are hikers, equestrians and mountain bicyclists (outside of wilderness or other specially managed areas). Opportunities will also exist for cross-country skiers, snowshoers, joggers and pack stock users. More than 780 miles of Arizona National Scenic Trail have been "officially" designated and signed. BLM manages 31 miles: Buckskin Mountain, White Canyon and Tortilla Mountain passages.
