One trail has many stories. We’re paying tribute to trails by telling the stories of people connected to three: Appalachian, Arizona, and Bay Area Ridge.

This past Tuesday, members from the City of Sierra This past Tuesday, members from the City of Sierra Vista, AZT VETS Program, several volunteers, and Arizona Trail staff installed an AZT Gateway Community Kiosk in Sierra Vista. This kiosk was the second of seven kiosks being installed throughout Arizona. The kiosk features trail maps, hummingbird information, and local history (soon to be installed). The Gateway Community Kiosks were made possible by a generous grant from Arizona Office of Tourism.
Today, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland made Today, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland made a historic visit to the proposed Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni Grand Canyon National Monument. The monument would include 1,102,501 acres adjacent to Grand Canyon National Park and includes 40 miles of the Arizona National Scenic Trail. Thank you, @secdebhaaland , for your support of the tribal coalition’s longstanding efforts to permanently protect this region! @potus @keepitgrandaz @usinterior #KeepItGrand #KeepItGrandAZ #MonumentsForAll
The Arizona Trail Association is proud to celebrat The Arizona Trail Association is proud to celebrate #EndangeredSpeciesDay today! Today is also the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which was signed into law by President Nixon on Dec 28, 1973. The incredible diversity of flora and fauna throughout #Arizona, including many threatened and endangered species, are important aspects of the natural environment that make the Arizona National Scenic Trail special. The 2009 National Scenic Trail Designation by the US Congress, and the trail itself, provides a protected corridor from Mexico to Utah -- not only for hikers, mountain bicyclists, and equestrians but also for wildlife who use the corridor to travel throughout the state. The ESA is very important because it helps protect our native fish, plants, and other wildlife from extinction. Once gone, species are gone forever. The loss of even a single species can have disastrous impacts on the rest of the ecosystem. The benefits of preserving threatened and endangered species are important for the landscape, the trail experience, and our very existence. As of July 2016, Arizona was home to 65 threatened and endangered species. Of these, 44 were animal species and 21 were plant species listed under the ESA. Some of the plants which can be found within protected areas near the AZT include the Kearney’s Blue Star, Arizona Hedgehog Cactus, Brady Pincushion, Pima Pineapple Cactus, Arizona Cliffrose, Huachuca Water-Umbrel, Milkweed, San Francisco Peak Ragwort, and Navajo Sedge. The list of animals is equally impressive and includes the Lesser Long Nosed Bat, Bobwhite Quail, Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, Sonoran Pronghorn, Yellow Billed Cuckoo, Chiricahua Leopard Frog, two species of Garter Snakes, Desert Tortoise, Mexican Grey Wolf, Black Footed Ferret, Mexican Spotted Owl, Ridge-nosed Rattlesnake, Jaguar, Ocelot, Sonoran Tiger Salamander, California Condor, and Gila, Sonoran, and Yaqui Chub. Help us continue to protect, maintain, enhance, promote and sustain the #ArizonaTrail as a unique encounter with the natural environment by celebrating all of the native species that help make the #AZT special.

After several years working together with the Coro After several years working together with the Coronado National Forest (before and after the Bighorn Fire of 2020), ATA staff and two @aztrailvets volunteers replaced two gates on #OracleRidge! They drove up rough Rice Peak Road, and hand carried two gates and gear 1.5 miles with 600’ elevation. Old wire gates were replaced with permanent steel swing gates. Thanks to passage steward Mike Symons for scouting the gates last fall to take measurements, Jason Butler who fabricated the gates, and #CoronadoNationalForest for approving this long anticipated improvement to Oracle Ridge. Nothing comes easy up on the 'Ridge! #loveazt #trailwork #AZT #oracleaz
