#AZT WILD The #biodiversity experienced along the #AZT WILD The #biodiversity experienced along the 800 miles between Mexico and Utah is what makes the Arizona National Scenic Trail so special, and wildlife encounters are integral to the #ArizonaTrail experience. The Arizona Trail Association is looking for your opinion on which animal best represents the AZT. Should it be something seen along every passage, like a red-tailed hawk? Or something not found on any other National Scenic Trail, perhaps a Gila monster. Or what about something that embodies the character of the trail, maybe a desert bighorn sheep? Or something completely different, like cochineal or humpback chub? In order to determine the official critter of the AZT, we want to hear from you. Give it some thoughtful consideration, hopefully while out on the Arizona Trail, and submit your answers here. We'll choose the most popular submissions and launch a survey in two weeks. Then, you'll have an opportunity to vote on the final. Results will be posted shortly thereafter, and you'll begin seeing the chosen animal integrated into our posts, merchandise, printed materials, and more. Did you know the ATA has been monitoring wildlife on various passages of the AZT for the past three years? Through the use of remote cameras, we are documenting animals on and near the trail to inform a research study into how non-motorized recreational activities may impact wildlife and #wildlifecorridors; potential benefits of #recreationaltrails to #wildlife; and collecting data on trail use (type, frequency, duration, seasonal trends, etc.) at the same time. Please make a donation at aztail.org to help sustain this program! #loveazt #wildlifephotography 📸 @cdkeppel
#TrailworkThursday! The latest work involved volun #TrailworkThursday! The latest work involved volunteers venturing out to the Mormon Grove connector trail (passage 22) to replace a #Wilderness Portal sign that had been vandalized. They harvested a native post on site, set the post next to the trail, and mounted the heavy oak sign. Being in the Wilderness, no power equipment was allowed so the post hole was dug with a manual jackhammer, a bit slower than the crew’s usual generator and electric jackhammer. We maintain hundreds of signs along the #arizonatrail, upgrading them to the traditional style and material as needed, and as funds and volunteer crews become available. #loveazt
The #ArizonaTrail just got better! Thanks to our f The #ArizonaTrail just got better! Thanks to our friends at @flagstaffbikingorg and lots of hard-working #volunteers, a road segment near Orion Spring has been replaced with a beautiful ribbon of singletrack on the #CoconinoNationalForest. The trails near #Flagstaff are an ideal summertime destination for #hikers, #runners, #mountainbikers and #equestrians. Will you join us for an upcoming volunteer trail work day soon? Or make a donation to support our trail operations program? With your help, the #AZT gets better all the time. ••••• ⛰These are the ancestral lands of the Hopi, Zuni, Navajo, Apache, Hualapai, Havasupai, and many other tribes who still call Arizona home. #flagstaffbikingorganization #mtbazt #flagstaffbiking

It's #trailworkthursday! This week, we are featur It's #trailworkthursday! This week, we are featuring last month's Veteran Program work weekend. The theme was "Drainage Solutions, Watershed Management & Trail Rehab". We worked on the Bismark Lake connector trail, and approximately 2 miles of the #AZT north of the trail junction. Extreme weather conditions, with gusts of 30-50mph winds, also provided more opportunities to remove downed trees from several sections of the trail. It was tough going, but the crew was resilient and focused on the task at hand. ••••• Did you know over 500k veterans currently reside in Arizona as of 2017? The Veteran Program was created out of a need to connect more of our veteran population with the #ArizonaTrail, and with other veterans who share a love and passion for the Trail. For more information about this program and future volunteer opportunities, please visit and follow @aztrailvets . #aztrailvets ••••• The @aztassociation acknowledges this area is culturally significant to the Acoma, Apache, Havasupai, Hopi, Hualapai, Navajo, Southern Paiute, Yavapai and Zuni. We are dedicated to the preservation of the AZT and the landscapes it traverses for the benefit of all people.
