Want to discover a new hike, canyon, or adventure in Arizona?

We travel the state to find the best trails, the hidden gems, the beautiful views, and the best adventures you can have outdoors in Arizona. We also find the worst hikes—the ones that break your spirit, entangle you in endless catclaw, require heavy bushwhacking, or are overrated, dangerous, or just plain blah. Come see what we're up to before you plan your next adventure.

Happy hiking! If you ever see us out on the trail, say hello!
