    The Creaky Knees Guide Arizona is a hiking guidebook filled with kinder, gentler trails. Here are 80 of the best easy-to-walk hikes throughout the state. 

    Created for anyone who--regardless of age--can't or doesn't want to hike great distances over rough terrain to gain beautiful vistas and enjoy the wilderness. Most are day hikes, but there are a handful of backpack trips worthy of the Creaky Knees stamp of approval.

    Trails are divided into regions: Grand Canyon, Northeast Plateaus, San Francisco Peaks Area, Mogollon Rim Country, Central Highlands, White Mountains, Phoenix Area, Tucson Area, Southern Mountains, and Western Deserts.

    In addition to a full-trip description, each hike includes:
    • Clear, up-to-date driving directions
    • Elevation gains
    • Topographical map
    • Mileage and estimated hiking time
    • Trail conditions, effort level, best season, map references, exploring options, access, permits required, and where to find more information.

    Written in a personal but informative tone by outdoors expert Bruce Grubbs, this Creaky Knees guidebook is a perfect resource anyone can use to explore the beauty of Arizona, without breaking too much of a sweat.
    “You’ll soon find that [The Creaky Knees hiking books] will be your go-to guides for enjoyable jaunts in the great outdoors.”
