This project is a
volunteer effort to build a 25-mile segment of
The Arizona Trail
beginning at Saguaro
National Park
in the Rincon Mountains
and working south to the Santa
Rita Mountains.
A second project will begin in 2008 to extend the trail another seven miles
in the Santa Ritas, tying it in with the Arizona Trail trail where it
currently
ends at Oak
Tree Canyon.
Another link in Saguaro Park will be added to connect to the trail as it heads
north into the Catalina
Mountains. The 800-mile
Arizona Trail, which extends from Utah to Mexico,
is nearly complete, with approximately
60 miles
left to build.
Our goal is to complete this project
by summer 2007. Thanks to many
community
sponsors, including user
groups
such as the Sonoran
Desert
Mountain
Bicyclists and the Tucson
Saddle
Club, and businesses such as
AOL, Epic
Rides Inc, TopoFusion and
Tucson
Electric
Power, we have already
completed
more than 20 miles
of trail for
this project. |
