"From the depths of redrock canyons to the snows and tundra of Arizona’s highest mountains, the Coconino National Forest can satisfy any visitor’s needs for wild-country recreation, in any season, against a truly iconic backdrop. Hiking, skiing, canyoneering, mountain biking: it’s all here, often in the welcome shade of high-country spruce and aspen, mid-elevation ponderosa pine, or riparian gallery forests of sycamore, alder, and cottonwood. Traces of the rip-roaring lumberjack-and-cowboy past remain in the form of old logging railbeds, barbed-wire corrals, and historic cowboy trails."
