“Trailblazers”
We are thrilled to announce a new documentary celebrating the history, heart, and humanity behind the 800-mile Arizona Trail.
In 1982, two brothers set out with two mules to walk across Arizona. Their quest to trace the history of the state helped inspire what would become the Arizona Trail—a National Scenic Trail linking deserts, mountains, canyons, and cultures. The film weaves together vintage footage and present-day interviews with Bruce Babbitt, former Arizona Governor and U.S. Secretary of the Interior, and Kevin Fedarko, author of The Emerald Mile and A Walk in the Park.
