TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — The final segment of the 817-mile Arizona Trail stretching from Utah to Mexico is nearly complete.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that all that needs finishing is a two- to three-mile stretch along the Gila River.
An Arizona Trail Association spokesman says they're hoping to put the finishing touches on the trail over the next few weeks.
The work has consisted of linking existing trail segments and building new ones to create a continuous cross-state trail.
The long and winding trail crosses over desert, canyon and mountain terrain from the Mexican border south of Sierra Vista to the Utah border north of the Grand Canyon.
It traverses parts of the Rincon and Catalina mountains near Tucson.
The route was designated a National Scenic Trail in 2009.
