Every month of the year, hikers follow thousands of miles of hiking trails into some of the wildest, grandest, and most diverse terrain in the United States. They're Hiking Arizona. From the Grand Canyon to the central mountains to the southern desert, Arizona's most popular trails, just as accessible, just as breathtaking, but far less traveled. Whether you seek a popular route or a relatively undiscovered one, Hiking Arizona, formerly The Hiker's Guide to Arizona, can introduce you to Arizona's natural wonders. It can lead you to the hummingbird paradise of Ramsey Canyon; to Slick Rock, where water cascades down steep slabs of granite; to the snows of the San Francisco Peaks; and to other dramatic landscapes. Authors Stewart Aitchison and Bruce Grubbs have hiked Arizona's trails for years. Their firsthand experiences, combined with those of a dozen other hikers and natural resource agencies, make Hiking Arizona the most detailed, up-to-date guide available. Trail maps and photos supplement 102 interesting hike descriptions. Also included are a foreword by Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt as well as tips on hiking techniques, ethics, and backcountry safety. Make room in your pack for Hiking Arizona.

Arizona Hiking,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hiking Arizona (Paperback)
This edition has excellent descriptions of about 100 trails in various regions of Arizona. Unfortunately many are not accessible unless you have a high profile 4wd vehicle (unpaved roads). With many areas declared wilderness don't expect any more roads to be paved. Also be aware of U.S. Forest fees that you may have to pay ($5/day) if you park at trail heads.
