The '''Arizona Trail''' is a trail from [[Mexico]] to [[Utah]] that traverses the whole north-south length of [[Arizona]]. The trail begins at the [[Coronado National Memorial]] near the US-Mexico border and moves north through parts of the [[Huachuca Mountains|Huachuca]], [[Santa Rita Mountains|Santa Rita]], and [[Rincon Mountains]]; then through the [[Santa Catalina Mountains|Santa Catalina]] north of [[Tucson]] and the [[Mazatzal Mountains]] before ascending to the higher elevations of [[Northern Arizona]] and the [[San Francisco Peaks]], and then continuing on across the [[Coconino Plateau]] to to the [[Grand Canyon]]. It terminates near the Arizona-Utah border in the [[Kaibab Plateau]] region. The Arizona Trail 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]]. |
