We are VERY excited to share the story of the 800 Mile Long Arizona Trail and the Arizona Trail Association! We hope you enjoy our Arizona Trail Association Interview with Executive Director Matt N for a behind the scenes look at one of 11 US National Scenic Trails. The AZT stretches from Mexico to Utah. The Arizona Trail Association’s mission is to protect, maintain, enhance, promote and sustain the Arizona Trail as a unique encounter with the natural environment. Learn more and listen in below!
The Arizona National Scenic Trail is a complete non-motorized path from Mexico to Utah, stretching 800 diverse miles across Arizona to link deserts, mountains, canyons, forests, history, communities and diverse peoples.
Links from our Interview:
- Natural Restorations: Phoenix Arizona Non-Profit focused on “Restoring Natural Areas.”

- From Seeds of Stewardship to Gear Girls to the North Rim Ramble to volunteering the AZT has a plethora of events and chances to get involved with the trail for just a day or a long weekend! Check out the AZT Events page HERE!
- Tucson Arizona has a TON of great non-profits. AND amazing hiking locations. Check out our article here on Tucson Arizona Hikes!
We hope you enjoyed this outdoor non-profit interview with the Arizona Trail Association. We have spent time hiking and volunteering on the AZT and look forward to doing it again soon!
If there’s an organization you are a part of or have a connection to that we can interview we’d love to do so.
