Pinal County is home to plenty of trails and hiking opportunities and thanks to COVID-19, they’re more popular than ever.
“Outdoor recreation use, including use of hiking trails, has exploded,” said Kent Taylor, director of Pinal County Open Space and Trails. “People who traditionally work out or go to the movies for recreation are discovering that hiking and spending time outdoors is an adequate replacement.”
From March to April of 2020, county trail managers saw 33% more people visit trails than in the entire 2019 hiking season.
