hiking & trails
Several trails are close to city centers, making it easier to get out in nature to enjoy iconic saguaros and other beautiful sights throughout the desert.
Hundreds of hiking trails can be found in Arizona, with trips ranging from short, easy loops in the heart of the city, to multiple-day treks in remote wilderness areas. Grand Canyon hiking is a favorite for both family trips and expert expeditions, but there are also countless hiking trails at other sites, including many of Arizona’s national parks, monuments, and recreation areas.
