Adventures galore!

  • Navigate the vast, dry expanse of the Arizona desert.

  • Follow the course of washes carved in the desert sand.

  • View Arizona's abundant wildlife in its natural habitat.

  • Marvel at cliff dwellings and artwork, both petroglyphs and pictographs, some dating back thousands of years to the archaic Indian tribes.

  • Travel along routes forged by Spanish, Mexican, and American explorer's; mountain men; and seekers of lost treasure.

  • Explore territory once defended by Cochise, Geronimo, and other Indian warriors.

  • Discover mines and mining camps that once reverberated with the sounds of machines, and men hoping to find the mother load.

  • Follow in the footsteps of early American pioneers and settlers.

  • Walk the silent streets of ghost towns.

  • Drive along abandoned railroad beds where steam engines labored to haul ore to smelters and transport cattle to market in the East.

  • Access the best locations for backcountry camping, hiking, mountain-bike and trail-bike riding, hunting and fishing.

Winner of Four Prestigious Awards

"With the impressive amount of detail that is given to every aspect of this travel guide, you would expect the trail coverage to be better still - and it is." ..."The wealth of information makes it second to none, and the presentation makes it a pleasure to read."  4 Wheel Drive & Sport Utility Magazine
