A recent analysis of wildfire impacts to the Arizona National Scenic Trail revealed a total of 93 miles of trail were closed in 2024, and 36 miles of trail were physically scorched. The ATA is in the process of conducting post-burn conditions assessments to determine safety and immediate stabilization needs.

The good news is that 2024 was a moderate wildfire year in Arizona without any significant conflagrations. Currently, all of the Arizona Trail is open within the burn scars detailed on the Wildfire Map.
