This Arizona Trail Resource page contains everything you need to plan and execute a rideof the Arizona Trail.
The Arizona Trail is an 800 mile non-motorized multi-use trail that starts on the US/Mexico border south east of Tucson, Arizona. It winds its way to the Arizona/Utah border. The AZT is also part of the National Scenic Trail system.
The trail was conceived by Dale Shewalter, a school teacher from Flagstaff, AZ during he 70’s. In 1985 he walked from Nogales to the Utah state line to see if a trail was possible. Consequently since then the Arizona Trail Association (ATA) has been formed. They work to protect, manage, promote, maintain, and educate the public on all things related to the trail. As a result the trail was completed on December 16, 2011.
The trail crosses through the Kaibab, Coronado, Coconino, and Tonto National Forests, as well as many miles of Bureau of Land Management, and National Parks Service land. Along the way one experiences many variations of desert, to aspen and Pinon Pines.
The trail is open to hikers, horses, and cyclist. Furthermore, it offers challenges and beauty to all its trail users.

Being that I’m also a Triple Crown thru-hiker I’m used to quality planning tools. After finishing the Bikepacking Triple Crown I realized bikepacking didn’t have quality planning tools available. The Project’s Planning Aids and Resources are our answer to this.
After 100’s of hours of research, 1000’s of keystrokes, more emails and phone calls than I can recall the One of Seven Project’s Arizona Trail Race Planning Aids are done. They’re the ultimate planning resources for the Arizona Trail Race. They contain everything you need to plan and execute your race/ride of the AZTR. If you can’t find what you’re looking for in these then it’s probably in our Arizona Trail Resources.

DATA SHEET and TOWN LIST DIFFERENCES
The Data Sheet has the most info. It gives the distance, elevation +/-, average grade, maximum and minimum elevations, pavement sections, references ACA maps, bike shops, resupply options, and has key notes between two POI. Example: A and B, then B to C, and so on.
The Town List gives cumulative distances between POI. Example: A to B, A to C, A to D. The next section would be B to C, B to D, B to E, and so on. The Town List has distance, elevation +/-, resupply options, bike shops and key notes.
The Town List helps with not having to do the math to figure out how far away things are if they’re not the next POI.
Quickly find the total mileage between any two POI along the route.
Quickly find the total elevation gain between any two POI along the route.
The Mileage and Elevation Gain Charts are ONLY available as part of the Big Bundle.
