Stefan Bill added 13 trails to our trail guide, all within Coronado National Forest near Sierra Vista, Arizona.  These trails form a network in the Huachuca Mountains that is excellent for birdwatching, fall colors, and year-round hiking. A few of the more notable trails:

• Crest Trail #103 - This trail forms the backbone of the trail network that crisscrosses the Huachuca Mountains and therefore most trails lead to it.  There are spurs that lead to Miller, Ramsey, and Pat Scott Peaks.
• Hunter Canyon Trail #111 and Clark Spring Trail #124 - These two trails contour along the east slope of the Huachucas, connecting three of the major canyons that cut that side of the mountain range.

Also, elbillo added the Escudillo National Recreation Trail #308 near Pinetop-Showlow in Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in eastern Arizona.  This trail leads to the top of Arizona's third-highest peak.  At the summit there is a fire lookout tower that offers a 360-degree view of much of the state.

Today I added a number of trails in the Nogales and Sierra Vista ranger districts of the Coronado National Forest.  There are various routes through the Santa Rita Mountains and up its tallest peak, Mt. Wrightson.  There are also a few in the Huachuca Mountains, including Miller and Huachuca peaks.  Most are categorized under Nogales, Sierra Vista, Tucson, and of course, Coronado National Forest.

Today I added all the trails listed under the Santa Catalina Ranger District of the Coronado National Forest.  Most of these trails are very popular with Tucsonans.  The descriptions and numbers (length, elevation change, etc.) were all pulled from the official Coronado National Forest recreation page.  If you don't feel like writing your own description for a trail, you can do this too, since all federal government web sites are free of copyright.

What's really missing on these trails is your personal touch.  For some of the trails you've done, feel free to edit the descriptions, add comments about your experiences, or best of all, upload some photos. I added a few of my photos taken during a February hike on the Pima Canyon Trail.
