Hiking Trails Information
This Web site contains
detailed information about hiking trails and routes
in Southern Arizona.
An avid hiker started
gathering the trail information, presented on this
web site, in 2001.
The information was accumulated from hiking
books, trail maps, watch altimeter and personal
hiking experiences.
In 2004, a GPS was introduced into this
process and in 2006, “TOPO! software copy write
2006 National Geographic Maps” for the State of
Arizona was introduced.
It has been a large
undertaking to go back to the information
accumulated over the years to change it based on new
information gathered with a GPS and mapping
software. Therefore,
at the present time, there may still be some
inconsistencies in trail mileage and elevations
information. These
inconsistence are being eliminate as time permits.
