Experience Arizona Quick Trip Reports

We’ve decided to add an exciting new feature to Experience Arizona, which we’re calling Quick Trip Reports or QTR’s. As all of you already know, Experience Arizona is dedicated to providing the best, most detailed information regarding hiking, biking and four-wheeling in Arizona. And I think we’re doing that.

But there’s more to enjoying Arizona than just hiking, biking and four-wheeling. A lot more. Maybe you want to dip your toes in a cool stream on a hot day? Or find a shady spot to observe some of Arizona’s colorful birds? Or a unique place to eat lunch? Maybe attend a little-known festival in a small town? Anything that might be fun and exciting to do on a weekend.

QTR’s to the rescue.

QTR’s will be placed on the Experience Arizona blog site and will be short and to the point. One or two paragraphs describing the site or adventure, maybe a picture or two, possibly a GPS waypoint and a general map (but no detailed directions). Bim, Bam, Boom and you’re done. Free to go explore it on your own!

In addition, some QTR’s may only include a picture and short description with no GPS coordinates. No, we’re not being lazy or mean. We believe puzzles are fun. We’re going to leave it up to you to figure out where it is and how to get there. Don’t worry, we’ll provide enough clues to solve the mystery (though some will be harder than others). Besides, we believe exploring new areas is half the fun anyway.

Look for QTR’s to start popping up on the Experience Arizona blog shortly. I hope you enjoy them. And, as always, I’d love to hear from you. Send me pictures, descriptions and GPS coordinates for that perfect spot, park, out-of-the-way diner, or whatever, I’d be happy to post them here.

Remember, the more people involved the more new areas ALL of us can explore and enjoy.
