Explore More of Arizona with the AZ Parks Passport

Arizona State Parks and Trails Podcast

Want to have more Arizona adventures but not sure how to fit it all in? Josh Coddington with the Arizona Office of Tourism and Lauren and Owen from The AZ Hikeaholics join us on the show to share their best tips.
These guests are pros at making the most of every minute exploring the Grand Canyon State. They share how to use a free tool, the digital AZ Parks Passport, created by the Arizona Office of Tourism, to plan adventures and discover even more attractions while they're on the road. The AZ Parks Passport also enters users into a contest to win some amazing prizes, including a $500 gift card to Arizona State Parks, good for camping and cabin reservations, shop merchandise and tours.
Of course, no outdoor recreation convo with these outdoor lovers would be complete without discussing sustainable tourism. We talk about what we love so much about this beautiful state and the seven principles of responsible recreation we can all practice to better Appreciate AZ.
