🛑 Arizona Trail Closed for Border Wall Constructio 🛑 Arizona Trail Closed for Border Wall Construction

Beginning Monday, April 13, the #ArizonaNationalScenicTrail is closed between the southern terminus at Border Monument 102 and the Joe's Canyon Trail junction at mile 1.0. Due to construction activities associated with Dept. of Homeland Security's border wall construction within Coronado National Memorial, the southernmost mile of the #AZT is closed until further notice. Current plans include construction of two 30-foot-tall steel barriers, with a 150-foot-wide road in between them. Visitors are warned not to hike on the AZT (Yaqui Ridge Trail) south of Joe's Canyon until the closure is rescinded.

The Arizona Trail Association is working with National Park Service staff to develop a southern terminus monument on Coronado Peak, just south of Montezuma Pass. This location has outstanding views of the San Rafael Valley, is far away from construction activities and border wall impacts, and is the exact location where Dale Shewalter ("The Father of the Arizona Trail") first had a vision for the Arizona Trail in the 1970s.

Last Saturday’s #ArizonaPublicLandsDay Hike was a Last Saturday’s #ArizonaPublicLandsDay Hike was a wonderful reminder of how special our public lands are. Thank you to everyone who joined the Arizona Trail Association and the @azwildlifefed  for a beautiful day on the #ArizonaTrail in Flagstaff!

Special thanks to Clay for leading the hike and sharing some of the ways to connect with nature on the trail. From stopping to smell the sweet, butterscotch scent of old ponderosa pines to spotting local birds along the way, it was a great reminder that slowing down and engaging our senses can make time outdoors even more meaningful.

We’re grateful to everyone who came out to celebrate and enjoy our public lands together. There’s nothing better than getting outside, exploring the Arizona Trail, and appreciating the landscapes that make Arizona so special.
