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.
