The Trail is made up of 43 Passages ranging from 11 to 35 miles in length
As of early 2002, most the 790 miles of trail is open to the public. More than 600 miles of the Arizona Trail have been "officially" designated and signed. (Trail Route Map). The Trail is made up of 43 Passages ranging from 11 to 35 miles in length. In most cases, the Arizona Trail utilizes existing trails that are also known by their original name and number. Primitive roads are temporarily being used in areas where linkages are needed. However, new trail construction is needed in these areas, especially to maintain the vision of a non-motorized trail. When completed, the Arizona Trail will become one of the premier long-distance trails in the country.

Records / History:
The Arizona Trail, the dream of Flagstaff teacher and hiking enthusiast Dale Shewalter, will eventually be a 790 mile non-motorized trail that traverses the State from Mexico to Utah. (see Trail description) The Arizona Trail is intended to be a primitive, long distance trail that highlights the State's topographic, biologic, historic, and cultural diversity.<br><br>
