The 800-mile Arizona National Scenic Trail (ANST) is as beautiful as it is daunting. It crosses the state, from Mexico to Utah. It travels up and down Sky Island mountain ranges, across the Saguaro-studded Sonoran Desert, through the largest Ponderosa Pine forest in the world, past Arizona's highest peak, and from rim to rim of the Grand Canyon.
