There have been numerous trails traversing Arizona's western 3 counties in the deserts and higher elevations. Recently, several organizations have 'packaged' these trails into the Arizona Peace Trail which is a large 750 mile loop in Mohave, La Paz ('La Paz' means 'peace' in Spanish and is the unofficial start of the trail, hence calling it the AZ Peace Trail), and Yuma counties. They received funding via grants from the State of Arizona and other places which went to putting signs and whatnot making the trail easier for what I understand their main target demographic to traverse--snowbirds. While Arizona has numerous snowbirds 'flocking' here (see Mudflap above), this gives them one more reason to keep coming here. Many have quads or side by sides, so taking a 5 day loop around the trail keeps the interest up.
