Arizona


Arizona is known for its deserts, true. But the diverse climate in Arizona offers a few majestic options, the Grand Canyon, mountains, rivers and yes, deserts. Phoenix has some of the best mountain biking trails in the U.S., South Mountain. Further north the Grand Canyon, that’s all that needs to be said. The kayaking is tremendous, the hiking is amazing, the rock climbing is kick ass and the mountain biking.

When entering the backcountry, proper precautions should be taken, including your health and fitness levels, avalanche beacon and the know-how to use it, shovel, compass, friend, weather information, and common sense.
