Arizona trails · Arizona National Scenic Trail
A 93.9-mile section of the Arizona National Scenic Trail in Arizona, with 4,461 ft of climbing. The full trail runs about 800 miles. Reaches Red Rock Spring and other lake/spring destinations. Managed by U.S. Forest Service.
The climbing leans toward the middle third: 45% of the ascent falls between mile 31.4 and mile 62.8. It gives back about 11,739 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 5:32 a.m., the sun rises at 5:58 a.m. and sets at 6:53 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 7:19 p.m. (MST) — 12 h 55 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 93.9-mile route works out to roughly 37 h 00 min of walking — more than a single day of daylight here, so plan it as an overnight or hike it in sections.
