  • Today we're headed to the town of Superior, located in the mountains east of Phoenix, where we'll explore one of the ecological marvels of the Sonoran Desert: Arnett Canyon, a place where a forest thrives nestled within volcanic rock walls.
    Along the way, we'll talk about the history of Superior-- one of Arizona's most underrated outdoor recreation destinations-- as well as the Arizona National Scenic Trail (aka, the "AZT") and the "Leave No Trace" principles that all outdoorsmen should follow!
    TRAIL INFORMATION: The Arnett Canyon Trail is an eight mile out-and-back trail, with roughly 550 ft. of cumulative elevation gain. Anyone capable of walking eight miles can do this trail. If you want to do the out and back, turn around once you reach the junction with the Telegraph Canyon Trail. Alternatively, you can use the Telegraph Canyon Trail to intersect with the Arizona Trail proper to make a longer full loop around Picketpost Mountain.

    I live in Superior and have walked this trail often. You can come in through the other end and it is stunningly beautiful too, especially when the cottonwoods are in full leaf. There are places where the water goes underground for the warmer parts of the year, but it pops back above ground in places. He is right - the variety of plant life here is amazing. I love this trail.

    Nice job. We did the Loop back in the Fall. Arnett Canyon was amazing. Especially since we didn't know it was there. We went counterclockwise and so we went through the desert areas first. Then dropped into telegraph and then into Arnett. It was amazing.
