The Arizona Trail (AZT) is an 800-mile trek that runs the length of Arizona, from the Mexican border to Utah. The non-motorized trail involves many challenges, including the Sonoran Desert, the Four Peaks Wilderness, the Santa Catalinas, and the Grand Canyon.

In June 2026, my husband Kevin and I started hiking the Arizona Trail in sections.
