About Arizona Monster

The Arizona Monster is a 308 mile point to point journey through Southern Arizona's Sonoran desert organized by the Destination Trail Team who also brings you the USA's biggest and most iconic 200 milers. The Sonoran desert is unique in that it has subtropical warmth in winter and two seasons of rainfall. This creates an extreme contrast between aridity and moisture supporting diverse and vibrant flora and fauna. The route is rugged, challenging and features some of Southern Arizona's most iconic backcountry terrain and high elevation mountains.
