Some How-to's For Hiking in Arizona
No matter what kind of terrain you're looking for, you can find it in
- Remember most of
Arizona - You could run into rattlesnakes or scorpions on the trail. Carry a first aid kit, and don't disturb these creatures if you see them.
- If you want to avoid crowds in most of the state and national parks, visit during mid-week or off season, the hiking trails will be less crowded.
- Wear sturdy hiking boots to protect your feet and ankles from rocky trails and from snake and insect bites as well!
- In the summer it's not uncommon to run into a sudden downpour, complete with thunder and lightening. Stay away from solitary trees or exposed areas if you're caught in a storm. Your best bet it to head for home when you see one coming.
- Dry creeks and washes can suffer from summer flash-floods. Avoid hiking in these areas if there have been storms, or if storms are predicted.
