Hiking Trails Information
This Web site contains
detailed information about hiking trails and routes in
Southern Arizona
.
An avid hiker started
gathering the trail information, presented on this web site, in
2001. The
information was accumulated from hiking books, trail maps, watch
altimeter and personal hiking experiences.
In 2004, a GPS was introduced into this process and in
2006, “TOPO! software copy write 2006 National Geographic
Maps” for the State of
Arizona
was introduced.
It has been a large
undertaking to go back to the information accumulated over the
years to change it based on new information gathered with a GPS
and mapping software. Therefore,
at the present time, there may still be some inconsistencies in
trail mileage and elevations information.
These inconsistence are being eliminate as time permits.
