The Creaky Knees Guide: Arizona: The 80 Best Easy Hikes

By Bruce Grubbs

Book Overview

The Creaky Knees Guide Arizona is a hiking guidebook filled with kinder, gentler trails. Here are 80 of the best easy-to-walk hikes throughout the state.

Created for anyone who--regardless of age--can't or doesn't want to hike great distances over rough terrain to gain beautiful vistas and enjoy the wilderness. Most are day hikes, but there are a handful of backpack trips worthy of the Creaky Knees stamp of approval.

Trails are divided into regions: Grand Canyon, Northeast Plateaus, San Francisco Peaks Area, Mogollon Rim Country, Central Highlands, White Mountains, Phoenix Area, Tucson Area, Southern Mountains, and Western Deserts.

In addition to a full-trip description, each hike includes:
- Clear, up-to-date driving directions
- Elevation gains
- Topographical map
- Mileage and estimated hiking time
- Trail conditions, effort level, best season, map references, exploring options, access, permits required, and where to find more information.

Written in a personal but informative tone by outdoors expert Bruce Grubbs, this Creaky Knees guidebook is a perfect resource anyone can use to explore the beauty of Arizona, without breaking too much of a sweat.
