Trip Reports on the Arizona Trail

The Arizona Trail is organized into 43 passages covering more than 800 miles from the Mexico border to the Utah border. The passages are numbered from south to north. The Arizona Trailblazers Hiking Club has hiked on 23 passages of the trail, some on different parts of a passage. For Arizona Trail hikes we’ve done more than once (e.g. Oak Spring Canyon in Pine), only the most recent report is listed. Please note that the AZT passages are being moved off roads and other trail maintance, so a current hike may be different than described.

All of the passages are described and mapped in Nelson, Matthew J., Arizona National Scenic Trail, Wilderness Press, Birmingham, AL, 2014. Various parts of the Arizona Trail are described in many other hiking guidebooks.

Some of the passages have been renumbered. We’ll use the numbers in place at the time of the most recent hike.
