Happy Earth Day from Trails Inspire! Our founder Sirena Rana Dufault was doing research for her upcoming book on the best Day Hikes on the Arizona National Scenic Trail in the Grandest of Canyons this weekend and took this time-lapse from Skeleton Point on the South Kaibab Trail/AZT. She also got some great photos for the book which will be out Spring 2020 with @wildernesspress. Skeleton Point is the first view of the Colorado River through Grand Canyon on the South Kaibab Trail . . The Navajo, Hopi, Havasupai, Paiute, Hualapai, Zuni, White Mountain Apache and Yavapai Apache are all traditionally associated tribes in the Grand Canyon region.

Repost from our founder @desertsirena using @RepostRegramApp - Grateful to be back in Grand Canyon, even if only for a day hike! Hit the trail with fellow @gossamergear ambassadors @anishhikes and @arlette_laan and friends and the Canyon was as enticing as ever. I was sad when we had to turn around. This is the first spring in a very long time that I don’t have a section of my Grand Canyon Traverse planned, but research for my AZT Day Hikes book is taking up most of my time. So at least I’ll still be outside! Photo by @adventuresofmilesandsmiles . . Grand Canyon is the ancestral lands of the Havasupai, Hopi, Hualapai, Navajo, Paiute, White Mountain Apache, Yavapai Apache and Zuni.

Waterfall Wednesday in the Four Peaks - sound on! Found this while doing research for my book on the best day hikes on the Arizona Trail and couldn’t get over how wet and green it was out there. Lots of ephemeral waterfalls in the high country, this one was over 30 feet high with a spectacular view of Roosevelt Lake. A special springtime in Arizona for sure! Video by @desertsirena . . Ancestral lands of the Yavapai and Western Apache

Thanks to Etched Magazine for including Trails Inspire founder @desertsirena in their “sensory overload” issue! She shares some of her favorite places to hike in Arizona, hiking snacks for on the trail and places to eat after your hike in the latest issue. Check out @etchedmagazine for details! . .

Trails Inspire is back from a social media hiatus - founder @desertsirena has been in India visiting her family. She’ll be sharing shots from the trip, here’s a sunrise silhouette in the village of Kapoorpur, about 50 miles east of Delhi, where her father’s family is based.

From our founder, @desertsirena: I just turned in the first half of my chapters, photos and GPS tracks for my book on the best Day Hikes on the Arizona National Scenic Trail! Taking a moment to appreciate all the hiking, driving, photography, research and countless hours of writing it took to get this half done. I've seen the AZT at its prettiest with fall colors and spring wildflowers and so enjoyed revisiting my favorite parts of the trail to share with readers. Through it all, I am focused on my goal: to make this 800-mile trail less intimidating and introduce people of all skill levels to the wonders of the AZT. Thanks to my publisher @wildernesspress and to @visit_arizona, @gossamergear @purplerainskirts and @huppybar for the support! . . I’ll be taking a couple weeks off to travel and visit family, then returning to do the research and writing for the rest of the book, which is due in November. . . This photo is from the Florence Kelvin Trailhead at sunrise yesterday, flowers are coating the hillsides and turning them bright orange! . . 📍Ancestral lands of the Akimel O’odham and Apache
