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.
