Smitten with Arizona's arid desert, sky islands, and mountain summits, schoolteacher Dale Shewalter hatched a preposterous dream before he died: an 800-mile trail from the Mexico border to the Utah line. Today, all 43 trail passages of the Arizona National Scenic Trail are complete, and so is its definitive guidebook. Now, for the first time, Arizona visitors and residents can set out on any part of the Arizona National Scenic Trail with a 'bible' of the trail's twists and turns, its flora and fauna, and its geology. In an easy-to-use format, Your Complete Guide to the Arizona National Scenic Trail serves up the 800-mile trail, section by section (43 altogether) so that day-hikers as well as thru-hikers can feel confident about the route. Inspired by the magnificence of the scenery, wildlife, and diversity of terrain, this new book is an irreplaceable source for any hiker, mountain biker, or equestrian heading for the Arizona National Scenic Trail. | Your Complete Guide to the Arizona National Scenic Trail by Matthew J.
