Superior, AZ is the first gateway community of the ​Arizona National Trail. This session shared how a ​small rural community with limited resources established relationships to create and maintain a ​premier trail system and its benefits for outdoor ​recreation, increased quality of life and local economic ​development. Speakers discussed how the successful ​history of the construction, maintenance and upgrades ​to our trail system has only been possible with the support of ​many organizations and individuals including local ​government, federal and state agencies, private ​companies, nonprofits, non-resident individuals and ​Superior residents.
