Arizona Hiking Trails

The advantage of this site is its simplicity to navigate the plentiful list of hikes found here by both region and name. Each write-up includes directions, trail description, length and difficulty. Though the descriptions are very good, the highlight of this site is the link provided with each trail description entitled "Naked In The Woods" which gives a first-hand, and sometimes naked, description of the hike taken by John and Heather. If you like these journal entries, I would encourage you to check out the entire Naked In The Woods.
