We are so excited to be responsible for cleaning along the historic highway and urban trail systems in Flagstaff. Come hang out, do some good, and help keep this beautiful stretch of city free from trash! WHO: Everyone. Bring friends, […]
High point trail takes you to the summit of Silly Mountain. All of the trails are very well marked and easy to find. The only thing I will say about this hike is that most of the paths consist of loose rocks, so watch your step. Once you’re in the park one of the first […]
Whether you are new to the area, a first time hiker, visiting, or just looking to get some fresh desert air there are a few hikes that I always recommend to beginning hikers. In my opinion the Superstition Wilderness area is the best place to start. This incredible range offers some of the most beautiful and […]

Even though the Secretary of the Interior issued a 20-year ban in 2012 on all new uranium claims around Grand Canyon National Park, mines that opened prior to that decision continue to operate based on outdated permits and obsolete environmental reviews, with plans of operations more than 30 years old. The petition we are asking […]

When you begin the hike, you’ll hike .02 miles and stumble upon a dry river bed. You’ll want to take a right and trek on. This trail is abundant with loose rocks. Once you’re on the trail, it’s pretty straightforward until the 1 mile point. The trail spit us out on the road, causing a […]

I have done this hike several times now throughout my four years at the U of A. As this is one of the few closer hikes, the trail is a popular outing for families, friends, and different student organizations as a social event. The way up is a consistent climb of switchbacks that gets pretty […]

Munds Wagon Trail is an easy, casual hike along Schnebly Hill road in Sedona, AZ. The trail offers great views of Sedona, red rocks, and if you are lucky, small pools and water runoff that make the rocks very photogenic. The Munds Wagon Trail begins at the Schnebly Hill Rd. turn off and is a […]
We took the option of parking at Picnic Area 7, just off Waterfall Canyon Road. This saves almost a mile of walking through flat, desert terrain and puts you right at the base of the mountain. It wasn’t long before we began the ascent via switchbacks. Though the incline is steady, the trail here is […]
This trail is heavily trafficked. We decided to head out early in the morning to have more solitude and be able to catch the sunrise. We got to the parking lot around 7am and were pleasantly surprised to see only a handful of other cars. (Lost Gold Mine Trail also branches off from the Hieroglyphic […]
