 Rediscover
the American Southwest!
| The
Grand Enchantment Trail is
a 770+ mile wilderness trekking route across the Southwest U.S., connecting mountains,
deserts, canyons, and places of cultural and historic interest. Beginning in the
Sonoran desert near Phoenix Arizona, the route meanders eastward, crossing unique
and diverse Sky Island mountain ranges, deep and water-blessed desert canyons,
the pine-studded Continental Divide, and toward the southernmost Rocky Mountains,
where it descends dramatically to the outskirts of Albuquerque New Mexico at its
distant terminus. | |
| | |  If
you've ever felt the pull of wild places... of
warm dry air and strong desert sun,
of thorny deserts and forested summits,
sheer-walled canyons and deafening silence,
ancient cultures and dusty
main streets,
and the challenge and reward of walking
through a rugged,
little-known land... We
invite you to discover the Grand Enchantment Trail.

lost in America is still possible! With the number of people on the planet all
sharing the same breathing room it seems a glorious luxury to have miles of wild
all to ourselves. The fact that there is so much wild to get lost in, is in itself
nothing short of a miracle. -
