The '''Arizona Trail''' is a trail from [[Mexico]] to [[Utah]] that traverses the whole north-south length of [[Arizona]]. It begins at the Coronado National Memorial near the US-Mexico border and moves North through parts of the [[Huachuca]], [[Santa Rita]], and [[Rincon]] [[Mountains]]; then through the [[Santa Catalina]] and [[Mazatzal]] mountains, to the [[San Francisco Peaks]], and on to the [[Grand Canyon]]. It terminates near the Utah border in the [[Kaibab Plateau]] area. It is about 90% complete as of late 2005, and is planned to be about 800 miles long when completed. It is designed as a primitive trail for [[hiking]], [[equestrians]], [[mountain biking]], and even [[cross country skiing]]. It showcases the wide variety of mountain ranges and ecosystems of Arizona. The idea for the trail was originally developed and promoted by Dale Shewalter, a [[Flagstaff]], Arizona teacher in [[1985]]. |
