The Arizona Trail (AZT) is an 800-mile long designated National Scenic Trail located wholly within Arizona. The trail runs south-north between the Mexico and Utah borders. The Arizona Trail Association breaks the trail up into 43 contiguous segments, called “passages”.

As of December 31, 2023 I have covered 20.7 unique miles of the Arizona Trail (2.6% of the total 800 AZT miles). The map above highlights (in yellow) sections of trail that I have completed so far.
This page will be updated as I complete new sections of the Arizona Trail (AZT). Each section I’ve completed is posted below, arranged from south to north along the trail, regardless of the chronological order or direction in which I ran the section. Some sections were covered northbound, some southbound, in both directions as solo out-and-backs, or as part of loops that contained a mix of AZT and non-AZT trail or road. Strava activity maps are included as proof of completion for each section, along with the date of completion, trail mile markers of the start and end points, the people I ran with, and photos. All AZT miles claimed were official AZT miles at the time that I covered the section (trails this long are rerouted for various reasons over time, so actual routes and distances are subject to evolve).
