where Pine
the hike     This section of the Arizona Trail is west of Pine and runs generally in an east-west direction. We will do a in and out hike. Starting at the Pine Trailhead and ending there. We will follow the AZT out of the Pine trailhead and down to Oak Spring Canyon. At the 5 mile mark we will stop for lunch / snack and then return to the trail head.

The trailblazers are doing a few of the AZT Passage this year, so this hike will continue that. We may eat at That Brewery after the hike. The Brewery is next to the trail head.
