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.

New Rain Gauge Links published on Experience AZ website


The Pools at Chiva Falls after a nice rain
 Want to see how much rain your favorite trail received during the latest storm? It's easy to do (as long as your favorite trail resides in Pima or Maricopa counties). I've added a couple of very handy links to the Experience Arizona Weather page: rain gauge maps for Pima and Maricopa Counties. These maps display real-time rain gauge information. I've used the Pima County site with great results. One of the best times to go to Chiva Falls is after a summer monsoon. Previously, it was difficult to know if the area around Chiva actually received any significant amount of rain. Now, I just go to the website, click on the gauge near Chiva Tank and know for sure. It's awesome. No more guess work.

I have only found this data available for Pima and Maricopa Counties. If anyone knows were I can find this for Arizona's other counties, please send me the links.
