Do you have any suggestions or comments about the Arizona Trail? If you noticed anything that needs attention, please let us know! Since it is not possible to continually monitor the condition of the entire trail, we appreciate your input on what you saw when you were hiking or riding the trail -- and positive feedback is just as useful. (Example: Were there downed trees or overgrown vegetation blocking the trail? Vandalized signs or structures? Did you have difficulty finding the trail or trailhead?)
