Join me this spring on the Arizona Trail Trek as I hike 800 miles across Arizona to promote the Arizona National Scenic Trail, the Gateway Communities, and the new official guidebook!

Visit the website http://www.aztrail.org/azttrek to learn about the 15 Gateway Community events and register for selected hikes and backpacking trips featuring the best of the Arizona Trail. One of the events is being hosted by Juan Jaime's Tacos and Tequila in Scottsdale

Can't get out to any events or hikes? Follow along via on-the-trail updates on the Arizona Trail Association Facebook and Twitter @AZTRAIL!

Coming soon- Indiegogo campaign with unique and exclusive incentives to help raise $20,000 for the Arizona Trail Association to maintain, promote, and protect the trail!

Hope to see a bunch of HAZers out at the events and on the AZT!

Mmmmmmm, yea, I'll be there!

Portions of this could be chance to try out some upgraded gear.

Is anyone interested, like me, in hiking Sunday from/to Sunnyside from/to Parker Lake or yo-yo?

Looking forward to attending the Tusayan event!

next Gateway Event in Flagstaff on May 16: http://aztrail.org/azttrek/events/Flagstaff.pdf

Hi All- I'm back!! Finished the Arizona Trail Trek on May 31st and am now back in Tucson catching up on my sleep...

What an incredible experience to have walked from one end of the state to the other in one journey, a totally different experience from section hiking back in 2008-09. Both the trail and I have changed a lot.

:thanx: to all the HAZers who came out to the hikes and events and donated to the campaign! The total raised for the Arizona Trail Association is $17,800

And another thanks goes out to JJ for hosting one of the most fun events of the whole series at his Scottsdale location

@sirena

You have a lot of triplogs to write and trails to link ;)

Sirena Congrats!
It was great meeting you at JJ's (Sorry for picking on you).

I'm real jealous that you were able to get'er done again.
We created some great memories on the AZT from border to border when we hiked it.

:thanx: for your efforts on this fund raising

Just amAZing Sirena and congratulations! Now you need to write about your adventure and publish it~~~~~~

@friendofThundergod No kidding!

@The Eagle

(Sorry for picking on you)

Don't get all soft on me now, Eagle-I can take it! Besides, picking on others is a long-standing HAZ tradition Nice to meet you too!

That's awesome! Great to meet you and thanks to all you and the AZT crew do. It was a great time at JJ's (he rocks).

I met you under somber circumstances...although it was also very celebratory. Congrats

@sirena
So when are we going to see the triplogs and pictures from this epic adventure?

Don't keep us waiting too long!!!

Congrats! Bandit and I rolled in a bit behind you on June 6. I was sad to find out that the register book was missing when I got there! So whats the next big adventure?

Congratulations Sirena! Nice meeting you at JJ's.

@natecolsen

I know, finally reach the Stateline after months of hiking only to find that there's no register- what a bummer! I was so looking forward to seeing all the thru-hikers names and see who finished when. Oh well.

Great seeing you on the trail and at the events and glad you and Bandit reached Utah!! As for my next adventure, my river season starts in a couple of weeks, softens the blow of being done with the trail to know I'm spending my summer in the Grand Canyon After that, who knows...?
