Save the State Park board and Arizona trails

This came across my plate today and is very alarming. This will affect our State Parks and Trails statewide.

Re: Hike planning help

Scubahooker, You have some possibilities. May it will start heating up in the lower parts of AZ, but parts of the middle and Northern parts will be nice in the day, but cool at nights.
