Arizona Trail GPS network out

[ScottM]

I sat down today and combined a massive amount of AZT GPS data using TopoFusion's network algorithm.  I'm calling the result the AZT Network.

Since the AZT is a work-in-progress and there are a number of options available to Arizona Trail cyclists, this GPX file tries to sort out the differences.




Each track is colored according to the following table:

Cyan	The current recommended route
Green	Easier / road alternates, usually as described in Andrea's book
Red	Hike-a-bike or otherwise adventurous segments for true AZT junkies

Note: if you don't see the track colors, upgrade to the latest version of TopoFusion.  Older versions didn't display per-track coloring.  If your GPS software doesn't display the colors, get TopoFusion!


You can get the AZT network file over on bikepacking.net's Arizona Trail Page under the routes area.

I'll be updating it this year as more GPS data trickles in, but it's got the best of what's out there right now.  Comments, suggestions or problems can be posted here or in the comments section of bp.net's AZT page.  This is v1 of the data.

Thanks Scott - I promise to make good use of it!


Somehow I had a bad download at one point - the file seemed way too small or something, because when I loaded the 1.83 meg version it worked much better

Looks like you figured it out...

This is fantastic and your timing is perfect!

Version 2 of the AZT network is now up (on the AZT route page listed above), including many new singletrack tasties.  Rosemont -> Lakes Road (riding Highway 83 is no longer required!), Gila River stuff (Kelvin), Mormon Lake area, NW side of the peaks...

The AZT is rocking right along... not too long until the whole dang thing is done.

Big thanks to Tim M for contributing a bunch of GPX files for some of the new stuff.
