Experience Arizona: State Trust Land Permits

Welcome to the Experience Arizona blog!

Welcome to the Experience Arizona blog!

As you may have noticed, I haven't done much with the blog over the past six months. There's a good reason for that, I am moving the trail/adventure portion of this blog to a dedicated website: http://www.experience-az.com/. Creating this website has been an adventure of its own, but don't worry, it's only going to get better. All of the information you loved on this blog has been transfered over to the new site ... plus a bunch more stuff the blogsite wasn't capable of! Go to the website and take a look. You'll be glad you did.

Given the new website, I will be using this blog as it was intended - as a blog! I'll use this to keep everyone up-to-date on the latest details of the website, what's going on in Arizona and what I think about it!

Look for the "official" kickoff for the new website on July 4th!

Until then, I'll see you on the trail.

Have fun and be safe.

State Trust Land Permits

To legally travel on state trust land (whether by motor vehicle, bike, horse or on foot), a State Trust Land Permit is required. Individuals visiting state trust lands without a valid permit may be fined. State Trust Land Permits can be obtained through the Arizona State Land Department website: http:/www.land.state.az.us/. Permits cost $50 for individuals and $75 for families and are valid for one year. Many of our favorite mountain biking trails are on state trust land. Access to numerous four-wheel-drive trails crosses state trust land en route to federal lands. Sometimes the boundary between state and federal lands is not well marked, so it is a good idea to have a State Trust Land Permit and to carry it at all times unless you are certain that you are not on state trust land.

Have fun and be safe!
