Geology Interpretive Sign on the Kaibab National F Geology Interpretive Sign on the Kaibab National Forest ~ After the Mangum Fire of 2020 incinerated 71,450 acres and a portion of the #ArizonaTrail, we worked with the #KaibabNationalForest to reroute the trail out of a debris-filled drainage. This increases safety for all trail users and improve the trail’s sustainability. The new route (2.7 miles of delightful singletrack) passes by a particularly unusual formation that looks like could be a meteor crater. After encouragement from our Trail Steward Extraordinaire Shawn Redfield to interpret the site, we worked with National Park Service and US Forest Service personnel to develop an educational sign for trail users. Look for it the next time you’re hiking, running or riding along Passage 42 (Kaibab Plateau North). Nearby you will see a unique feature along the Kaibab Plateau – a sinkhole. Sinkholes are formed when mildly acidic precipitation, in the form of rain or snow, dissolves the slightly more basic carbonate rock below and creates zones of weakness. Water enters the rock through existing cracks and openings and makes its way deeper and deeper below the surface, dissolving the carbonate rock along its path and eventually flowing out of springs in the canyon below. These cracks have significantly widened from these processes over time, creating large caverns and caves underground that have broken through to the surface to form the sinkholes we see today. The Kaibab Plateau has thousands of sinkholes, all of which are connected to the vast and complicated network of caves and fractures underground that make up a complex groundwater system. The sinkholes on this plateau are not as dynamic as sinkholes you may see along the #FloridaNationalScenicTrail . Here, they were slow to form, and they are slow to change. However, they are effective transmitters of water to the underground maze below, most of which flow into the Colorado River within the Grand Canyon – the lifeblood of the West that sustains 40 million people across seven US states, 30 tribal nations, and two states in México.

We are excited to announce the installation of fre We are excited to announce the installation of fresh trailhead signs on the Santa Catalina Ranger District of the #CoronadoNationalForest. Thanks to funding from the @u.s.forestservice and 20 local businesses, the ATA recently designed, printed and installed signs at 17 locations on and around #MtLemmon. With the #AZT recently moving from #OracleRidge to Red Ridge due to private property issues and increased mining activity, these important navigational resources needed to be updated. Plus, some were over a decade old and were in need of an upgrade. In addition to a map showing the Arizona Trail and other trails nearby, these signs also include: • paved and dirt roads • trailheads and campground • peaks • springs and creeks • wilderness boundaries • other interesting geographic features • federal, state and private lands • nearby communities • local attractions Each map includes info boxes about the Arizona Trail and the #ArizonaTrailAssociation, and ancestral lands. We are very proud of how they look, and hope you’ll enjoy them the next time you’re hiking, running, mountain biking or horseback riding at a trailhead within this gorgeous sky island mountain range in southern Arizona. And when you visit a local business who sponsored one of these signs (look for their logo on the sign), please tell them “thanks for supporting the #ArizonaTrail!” These include our friends at @ziparizona @beyondbreadbakerycafe Brewery Wastewater Design; @cirrusvisual The Damion Alexander Team ; friends and family of David Nelson; @earlybirdbikes @epicrides @eskercycles @faroutguides Hammel Dentistry ; @homegrownmtb @mtlemmonstore ; friends and family of Rane Clements; @runsar ; @teamwoodallaz - Long Realty ; @skratchlabs @summithuttucson @whyilovewhereilive and @wildernesssociety .
