Thank you to Sedona International Film Festival &

Thank you to Sedona International Film Festival & Theatres and @theatrikos for hosting a sold-out "Trailblazers" film event on July 8th. A panel discussion was held with @arizonahighways editor Robert Stieve, filmmaker @atwellian and Arizona Republic reporter @joan_bikes_arizona . Proceeds from the evening benefitted the Arizona Trail Association, and we are so grateful for the support!

As always, thank you to Troy and Gil @gillenwater for sharing your story and adventures!

Our Volunteer Program doesn't slow down, even when

Our Volunteer Program doesn't slow down, even when temperatures rise, rain falls, and challenging conditions might frighten away others. We are especially grateful for the nine hearty individuals who joined a trail work party last weekend on the Coronado National Forest (Santa Catalina Ranger District). We worked together to improve 0.4-mile of the Green Mountain Trail on Mt. Lemmon -- part of the Pusch Ridge Wilderness Bypass. While this is not part of the official Arizona National Scenic Trail, it's the preferred route for mountain bikers and equestrians due to the fact that the #AZT through the Pusch Ridge Wilderness is off limits to bikes, and the steep granite slabs are dangerous for equines and equestrians.

One of the benefits of the Green Mountain Trail is that it's high on the north-facing slope of the mountain, offering shade and cooler temperatures while the desert feels like an oven just a short distance downhill. Along with partner organizations like Tucson Off Road Cyclists and Activists @torcamtb and Tucson Saddle Club, the Arizona Trail Association is proud to maintain trails on public lands for all non-motorized uses.

Want to join the fun? We offer trail maintenance events throughout the year -- probably on a segment of trail near you. Learn more on the VOLUNTEER page in our bio. We are confident you'll find that maintaining trails is just as rewarding as hiking, running, biking and riding them.

Laddie Cox, an Arizona Trail legend and American h

Laddie Cox, an Arizona Trail legend and American hero, passed away on May 31, 2026 at age 91. Laddie got involved in Arizona Trail work events in 2003 and over the next 20 years he built and maintained trail with care, led the first concerted effort to build gates at fence crossings statewide, and was a vital part of the Arizona Trail Association’s volunteer trail corps. He completed section hiking the 800-mile Arizona National Scenic Tail at age 70.

Laddie was raised in a ranching family in remote eastern Arizona. He earned degrees in Animal Husbandry and later in life achieved a degree in Natural Resources. While many knew Laddie was a 30-year retired Army Colonel, few knew that he served two tours in Vietnam and earned a Silver Star, Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.

Laddie was married in 1959 to the love of his life, Sue Ward. They raised two daughters, Dr. Virginia Crane and Dr. Sharon Mullis, and produced four grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Everyone who spent time with Laddie Cox on and off the trail agree that he was a man of the highest character with a strong work ethic and generous nature. He will not be forgotten.

A memorial service being held this Thursday, July 16th at 10 am at Casas Adobes Congregationalist Church in Tucson. All are invited to attend and celebrate the life of this incredible man.

Wishing you and your family a long weekend of cele

Wishing you and your family a long weekend of celebrating 250 years of freedom to explore our incredible lands. From the sky islands of the south to the ponderosa forests of the north, the #ArizonaNationalScenicTrail connects us to some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the country.

Have a safe, fun, and memorable Independence Day! 🇺🇸

We are super excited to announce the new Southern

We are super excited to announce the new Southern Arizona 50K Trifecta for the 2026/2027 season, proudly sponsored by @therunningshopaz!

Created by popular demand, the #SouthernArizona50KTrifecta is a unique challenge for runners looking to finish all three of southern Arizona’s greatest 50K #trailrunning events in a single season:

– #ColossalVail 0K on December 5, 2026 in Vail, AZ
– #AZTOracleRumble50K on January 30, 2027 in Oracle, AZ
– #OldPueblo50K on March 6, 2027 in Sonoita, AZ

This is a ‘sister series’ to the already well-established and coveted #SouthernArizonaTriple50, where runners complete all three 50 Mile distances at the same three events.

In addition to the great experiences and event swag you’ll receive at each ultra, completing all three 50Ks within the posted cutoff times will earn you a custom running hat and a gift certificate for #TheRunningShop to celebrate your incredible accomplishment!

You will also be invited to the Awards Fiesta at Three Canyon Beer & Wine Garden in April, where we will announce your cumulative time for all three events, with awards to the fastest overall male and female runners. If you attend the Fiesta, you will be given two complimentary drink tickets.

Will you be among the first group of folks to finish this trail challenge in its inaugural year? Learn more at 🔗 in our bio!
