ARIZONA TRAIL RACE PLANNING AIDS

Welcome to The Project’s Planning Aids, designed to bridge the gap left by the lack of high-quality planning tools within bikepacking. As a Triple Crown thru-hiker, I’m accustomed to comprehensive planning resources, and I noticed that bikepacking needed similar quality tools. That’s why I developed these resources to make your Arizona Trail adventure as smooth and well-prepared as possible.
Our planning aids include four distinct styles to help you plan your ride:

  • The Data Sheet offers the most detailed information, including distance, elevation +/-, resupply options, notes and more for key POI.
  • Town List provides cumulative distances between POI,  and does the math so you don’t have to.
  • Mileage Chart and Elevation Gain Chart are simple graphs showing cumulative mileage and elevation gain between POI.

Each tool serves a unique purpose to support your planning and navigation needs.

Explore our offerings to find the perfect combination for your needs and get ready to conquer the Arizona Trail! Don’t forget to checkout our online Arizona Trail Resources as well.
