The Arizona Trail is almost completed. By 2009 only 40 miles are left to go. It stretches from the border of Utah to Mexico and is 817 miles (1315 km) long. Let's cite the first lines of a song by Jody Sixkiller: "You can ride (hike) along the desert, the rimrock or the prairie, the high plateau, see the mesa and the hill. See the cactus, the saguaro, the meadows full of wild flowers, watch a sunset that will give your heart a thrill".
