Larry Simkins and Ellen Shopes have created a table top photography book "Along the Arizona Trail" that features the landscapes of the Arizona Trail. Larry and Ellen have selected the best landscape photos from their 5 treks on the Arizona National Scenic Trail that highlight the Sonoran Desert, Sky Island Mountain Ranges, the Mogollon Rim, the Grand Canyon and the Kaibab Forest. Trail users and supporters of the Arizona National Scenic Trail will be delighted by "Along the Arizona Trail." Imagine moving through a magical land, traveling from the deepest of gorges with churning red water to snow-clad peaks to towering desert sentinels under a blazing sun. Experience the jaw-dropping colors of sunset with 50-mile vistas. This is not an historical or cultural oriented book of the Arizona National Scenic Trail. This is "the best of the best" landscape photography by Larry Simkins. Ellen Shopes enjoys journaling their adventures and added the text. To order a copy of this book for yourself or as a gift send an email to [email protected].
Larry and Ellen have offered many programs on the Arizona National Scenic Trail at REI classes in Tucson and to local hiking groups. Several years ago they were honored by the Arizona Trail Association as Volunteers of the Year for their contributions to the Arizona National Scenic Trail.
