Day Tripping: Picketpost Is A Serious Scramble

April 10, 2012 aztrail

The Desert Leaf

by Bill Norman

Picketpost Mountain pokes its big, fat snout 2,000 feet above surrounding desert like a rocky study in morbid obesity. The mountain’s brooding visage is a solitary one.

🌲 Join Arizona Trail steward Karen Cordasco at 🌲 Join Arizona Trail steward Karen Cordasco at her #Flagstaff studio on Sunday, December 8th to see her most recent paintings from the #ArizonaTrail. 🌵 "The original idea for my show was to create one painting from each passage that I completed over the last year. I was off to a good start, and then I had some surprise visitors in my garden who also found their way into my paintings. Five monarch caterpillars showed up on our milkweed plants this summer, and I had the great honor and privilege of observing the life cycle stages, and then painting the adult butterflies before they flew away to their over wintering sites." 👉 Stop by Beaver Street Professional Building at 405 N Beaver Street, Suite 7A on the second floor. Grab a cookie and a hot drink and share some of your trail stories while checking out the paintings. 👉 Some original paintings, archival prints, and greeting cards will be for sale. Karen will be there from 11am until 3pm.

Mug reveal! It's a coati (for all those who submit Mug reveal! It's a coati (for all those who submitted a guess)! We are excited to reveal our 2024 commemorative Arizona Trail mug! This is our way of thanking donors who support the ATA with a gift of $150 or more. This year's commemorative mug features a scene from the #HuachucaMountains (Passage 1) within #CoronadoNationalMemorial @coronado_nps. This unique biome is where grasslands meet oak woodland, and eventually transition to pine and aspen forest. The views into Sonora, Mexico are breathtaking, and much of the landscape remains relatively unchanged over the past 500 years. #Coatimundi (Nasua narica) are commonly seen in the Huachucas, and are a highlight for #ArizonaTrail visitors. These charismatic creatures are more common in Central and South America, but can also be found in the mountains and canyons of Arizona. The mug's glaze is inspired by the natural hues of this unique landscape. Created by the ceramic artists at @deneen_pottery, at least five sets of hands go into the creation of each mug. Enjoy your favorite beverage knowing your support helps maintain and protect the 800-mile trail. While supplies last! Donate: https://aztrail.org/2024-end-of-year-fundraiser-sm/
😎 AZT Mug teaser! Any guesses WHAT ANIMAL this 😎 AZT Mug teaser! Any guesses WHAT ANIMAL this year's custom AZT year-end donation mug will feature? 🙌 Through your ongoing generosity we are able to maintain the treasure that is the Arizona National Scenic Trail, and protect it for future generations to enjoy. Since 1994, the #ArizonaTrailAssociation (ATA) has accomplished incredible things – all with support from members, donors, business partners and others who believe in our mission. 🌲 At the ATA, we encourage a life filled with outdoor activities, making meaningful connections with people and landscapes, and embracing the ethics of stewardship. Please think about the positive connections you’ve made on the #AZT or through the ATA over the past year (or decade, or longer!) and make your tax-deductible year-end gift today.
