Few places can boast the environmental and historical diversity that is found within a 40–mile radius of Kartchner Caverns State Park. The park is the centerpiece of a remarkable variety of trail opportunities. From classic Sonoran Desert to pine-forested mountaintops, to ghost towns, a Spanish fort, an Ice Age mammoth site, and an Apache hideout, there are adventures for all outdoor lovers. An easy to use guide for hikers, bicyclists and equestrians, the book offers short treks easy enough for small children and several wheelchair accessible trails, as well as steeper and more challenging backpacking trails. There are photographs of each area, maps for every trail, and global positioning system (GPS) coordinates for all trailheads and destinations.
Areas described in the book include Kartchner Caverns State Park, the state-wide ARIZONA TRAIL, the San Pedro River, the Dragoon Mountains, the Huachuca Mountains, the Santa Rita foothills, Coronado National Memorial, Las Cienegas National Conservation Area, Saguaro National Park, and the Rincon Mountains.
