Hikes · Arizona
Best hikes in Arizona.
Arizona swings from the rim of the Grand Canyon to Sedona’s red rocks to saguaro desert and a 12,000-foot peak above Flagstaff. The desert trails are cool-season hikes — even Phoenix winters bake by midday — while the high country only opens in summer. Carry far more water than you think you need.
