Reflecting on the past year, consider the moments you’ve spent on the Arizona Trail. Whether you’ve hiked, biked, or simply found peace in nature, those experiences are part of why we do what we do. We invite you to support the Arizona Trail Association this season with a year-end gift. Your donation helps us foster the stewardship ethics and outdoor connections that define our community.
To show our appreciation, every gift of $150 or more will receive our 2026 Arizona Trail mug (while supplies last). This year’s commemorative mug features a scene from the iconic Picketpost Mountain on the Tonto National Forest — a defining feature of the Alamo Canyon Passage. The design features a western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox), one of Arizona’s 13 different rattlesnakes, commonly seen throughout the Sonoran Desert in the warmer months. If you look closely, you will also see Mexican gold poppies (Eschscholzia californica mexicana) and purple lupine (Lupinus arizonicus) blooming. Springtime wildflowers are always a colorful highlight on the Arizona National Scenic Trail, and the desert near Picketpost is world famous for its superblooms.
Donate here before the end of the year.
