Arizona has two Badge of Honor trails. There’s one about an hour’s drive into the mountains outside of Sedona. Located in Munds Park, the surrounding rugged terrain actually makes it a quicker drive from Flagstaff. It’s a scenic, historic wagon trail with spectacular views of the surrounding desert and red rock formations. The landscape will have you feeling like you’re in a Western.

About 40 minutes north of Phoenix is Table Mesa Road. It’s a very easy trail, one of the best for beginners in the whole program. Still, the views are fantastic. If you want to challenge yourself, there are a number of offshoots that are more technical.

• Schnebly Hill Trail (2-5 easy to moderate)
• Table Mesa Road (1-4 easy to moderate)
