Help Save Arizona State Parks Funding!
Because of State budget woes, there is legislation being considered that would take away millions of dollars of funding for the Arizona State Parks department.
Not only would this potentially close many of our State Parks, including Deadhorse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood, location of some great nearby winter mountain biking opportunities, it could severely impact monies spent on trails and trails planning within the State.
Although you may not be directly aware, money administered by the Arizona State Parks has helped to build many of our favorite trails, including the Flagstaff Loop Trail, Deer Hill Trail, the Fort Valley Trail System and others.
