Backpacking Arizona
From Deep Canyons to Sky Islands
BRUCE GRUBBS

The world-famous Grand Canyon is only one of Arizona's spectacular natural features. Arizona encompasses over 90 wilderness areas, more than 15 national parks and monuments, and the largest national forest in the country. Expansive mesas, high peaks, and snaking canyons create a dynamic landscape and reflect a rich geologic and human history.

Backpacking Arizona is the only guide devoted to overnight trips in the state. You'll discover the maze of side canyons and hidden grottos in the Grand Canyon's untrammeled backcountry, historic pioneer trails on the Mogollon Rim, the little-traveled Blue Range, and the legendary Superstition Mountains in the Sonoran Desert.

--The 32 best backpack trips in Arizona, from weekend trips to 10-day outdoor vacations
--Detailed route descriptions with maps and trailhead access
--Tips on weather, seasons, and hiking in deserts and canyons

Strap on your pack and head for Arizona's wild country!

Author Bruce Grubbs has explored the West for over 30 years, as a backpacker, hiker, mountain biker, paddler, and cross-country skier. Based in Flagstaff, Arizona, he is a professional outdoor photographer and author of 14 outdoor guidebooks.
