Wild Arizona

In honor of National Trails Day, Wild Arizona teamed up with the Every Other Monday Trail Group to work on the Carr Peak, Old Sawmill Spring, and Reef Townsite Loop trails in the Huachuca Mountains of southern Arizona.

The project area was at 7,300 ft. elevation, so the temperature was a mild 75°F. Our team of ten volunteers worked to ensure a total of 2.25 miles of trail were cleared through rocking, brushing, and cutting new sections of tread. At the end of the day, we refueled with some slightly melted (and stale) chocolate donuts before driving back down the long switchback road. Along the way, we passed a herd of 20+ deer enjoying the late spring weather.

Thank you to the EOMTG for always showing up and putting in the work. And happy National Trails Day, everyone!

26 years ago today, this desert treasure became a national monument.

Here’s to the ironwood trees that have stood for 800 years and the people fighting to protect them for 800 more.

Introducing our Book of the Month, and this one will take you straight to the heart of the American West.

We’ve teamed up with Little Wild Library to bring you Brave the Wild River by Melissa L. Sevigny, the untold story of two pioneering botanists who defied every expectation to run the most dangerous river in the world. It’s the kind of book that makes you look at wild places, and the women who fought for them, completely differently.

Purchase this book in June and 100% of the profit goes to Wild Arizona, supporting the conservation work that keeps wild places wild.
