Coconino National Forest Trails
Contained below is a list of some of the trails available on the Coconino National Forest, broken down by ranger district. This is not an exhaustive list, just a list of some of the more popular trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. Some are segments of much longer trails, like the General Crook Trail and the Arizona Trail. Some are combinations of trails that work together as loops. Some of these trails either are fully in Wilderness or cross Wilderness, so Wilderness Rules and Regulations apply to those sections of the trails (particularly the part about no mechanized vehicles, including mountain bikes, allowed). There's enough here to keep someone busy for more than few days...
