Beginning September 11, the Kaibab National Forest Beginning September 11, the Kaibab National Forest will reopen 25 miles of the Arizona National Scenic Trail from Orderville Trailhead (Passage 41, AZT mile 769.7) to Forest Road 213 (Passage 40, AZT mile 744.8). Highway 67 is also open from Jacob Lake to the Kaibab National Forest/Grand Canyon National Park Boundary. The Jacob Lake Inn, Kaibab Lodge and North Rim Country Store are also open! Thru-hikers can now hike 53 miles from the Stateline Trailhead at the AZ/UT border to Telephone Hill Trailhead, then catch a ride around to the South Kaibab Trailhead to continue their southbound adventure. We will update you as more miles of trail are determined to be safe for visitors and/or temporary detours are put into place on the Kaibab National Forest and within Grand Canyon National Park. Please refer to the Current Closures, Restrictions and Reroutes page of our website for updated information: https://aztrail.org/category/closures-reroutes/
Tucson watercolor artist and longtime Arizona Trai Tucson watercolor artist and longtime Arizona Trail supporter Terri Gay invites you to “Watercolor Wanderings: An Arizona Trail Journey,” a solo exhibition of plein air and studio paintings inspired by her 815-mile trek along the Arizona Trail. The show runs August 27 through October 5 at the Ranch House Gallery at Agua Caliente Park, offering a glimpse into Arizona’s landscapes, history, and natural beauty. After attempting a thru-hike in 2003 and finding the trail obscured by snow on day two, Gay adjusted her plans. What followed was a six-year journey of section-hiking the trail—returning again and again to pick up the path where she left off. She captured scenes on-site, in watercolor, battling wind, bugs, sun, and time limits to translate fleeting impressions into lasting images. “Most of the paintings were done outdoors in a single sitting,” she says. “Others were completed in the studio using field sketches and photos. My aim has always been to record the feeling of the moment, not a perfect rendering of the place.” The result is a body of work 15 years in the making—an artistic reflection of perseverance, place, and presence in wild and not so wild Arizona. The artist will be in the gallery on Sundays throughout the exhibit to chat about art, hiking, and the Arizona Trail. A portion of the sales will benefit the Arizona Trail Association. A plein air painting demonstration is happening this Saturday, September 6 from 8 – 10 am, and an Artist’s Reception on Saturday, September 13 from 11 am – 12:30 pm. Exhibit Details WHEN: August 27 – October 5, 2025 WHERE: Ranch House Gallery at Agua Caliente Park (12325 E. Roger Rd., Tucson, AZ) DETAILS: Gallery Hours are Wednesday – Sunday from 9 am – 1 pm For more information, contact Terri Gay by email or visit her Instagram page @terri_gay_fine_art
🌵✨ This past Saturday, Regional Steward David 🌵✨ This past Saturday, Regional Steward David Sosna brought together #ArizonaTrail Stewards, Trail Angels, USFS Regional Staff Officer Zac Ribbing, ATA staff, and friends of the trail for a regional luncheon at the Historic Carr House in the #HuachucaMountains. The gathering was a wonderful chance to celebrate the community that keeps the #AZT so welcoming, especially in the Borderlands Region. Guests enjoyed a fascinating talk from docent Mike Foster, a tour of edible plants native to the Huachucas, and — for some — a spectacular mountain bike ride on the nearby trail system. 🚴‍♀️ Huge thanks to everyone who joined us in connecting, learning, and sharing our love of the AZT in this magical corner of Arizona! 💚
The US Department of Agriculture recently announce The US Department of Agriculture recently announced plans to rescind the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, a popular policy that has protected nearly 45 million acres of National Forests across 42 states. Rolling back the Roadless Rule would open the door to logging, road construction, and development—threatening the outdoor experiences we treasure, and undermining the shared legacy of our public lands. This could have a direct impact on the Arizona National Scenic Trail, as there are inventoried roadless areas on 1 million acres in Arizona, including all four forests the AZT traverses. The Roadless Rule was created in 2001 with strong public support – over 95% of the 1.6 million public comments received favored protection for roadless areas. Keeping the Roadless Rule in place demonstrates a commitment to future generations. America’s remaining roadless areas are rare, wild, and irreplaceable. At the Arizona Trail Association, we believe roadless areas must remain protected for the sake of outdoor recreation, biodiversity, air and water quality, viewsheds and soundscapes, and climate resilience. Will you join us in telling the USDA we cannot support this? Public comments will be accepted until September 19 (the shortest public comment period in history for a policy change of this magnitude). This is our chance as a trail community to demonstrate overwhelming support for keeping additional roads out of our public lands. Our friends at the Outdoor Alliance have an easy online form to use to submit your comments. Please take a few minutes this weekend to craft a thoughtful message. The time is now to protect what remains of our National Forests. https://action.outdooralliance.org/a/roadless-1
