About this trail
The Great Western Trail in Arizona is a 384.1-mile out-and-back route offering an extensive backcountry experience across the state. With 2,735 feet of elevation gain, this trail provides a moderately challenging adventure suitable for experienced hikers and backpackers planning multi-day trips. The route traverses diverse Arizona landscapes, connecting remote wilderness areas and providing access to some of the state's most scenic and undeveloped terrain.
