The Arizona Trail
HIT THE TRAIL.
The Arizona Trail is a super cool hiking route that runs about 800 miles across Arizona, from the Mexico border to Utah. It showcases some amazing scenery, including deserts, mountains, and forests, making it perfect for all kinds of outdoor adventures.
If you're staying at Hotel Elev8 in Flagstaff, you're in luck! The trail is just steps away, offering a great opportunity to hit the trail without having to drive anywhere. Whether you want to explore a section for a day hike or challenge yourself with a longer trek, you've got a convenient jumping-off point. It's an awesome way to experience Arizona's natural beauty right from your hotel!
REFUEL.
Passage 33 of the Arizona Trail takes you on an urban adventure through the heart of Flagstaff. Starting at Walnut Canyon near Fisher Point, this section mixes dirt paths and asphalt as it weaves across the city, eventually connecting back to Passage 32. Along the way, you'll navigate through some drainages, scale small ridges, and pass under one of the busiest intersections at Ponderosa Parkway.
As you make your way up to McMillan Mesa, you'll find yourself on city streets and the Flagstaff Urban Trails System. One of the best parts? This route offers easy access to plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and even gear shops, making it super convenient for anyone looking to explore. Plus, if you're staying at Hotel Elev8, you're just a stone's throw from the trail!
