Pharmacies?

Post by johnnyo979 »

Does anyone know if there sufficient pharmacies along the trail? I have medication I have to have refilled every 30 days. Or will I have to hitch a ride long distances into a nearby town?

A list of gateway communities is available on the Arizona Trail website: http://www.aztrail.org/gateway/gateway.html

I would recommend googling the name of one of the communities and pharmacy.

Example: "Vail, AZ Pharmacy"
I'm not sure what my spirit animal is, but I'm confident it has rabies.

You've probably thought of this, but just in case.... Have you spoken to your doctor about getting an extended prescription. Many times if a patient is going to be traveling their doctor will write a prescription (or contact the pharmacy) allowing for a two or even three month supply. Might be worth a call to ask.
