Trail Overview
Arcosanti is a wide and easily accessible trail with no obstacles, making it a great option for a smooth ride. Scattered campsites along the route provide convenient spots to stop and enjoy the surroundings. With 5G service available, staying connected won't be an issue. This trail leads to the Arcosanti Community, which was founded in 1970. Arcosanti is a project of The Cosanti Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to inspire a reimagined urbanism that builds resilient and equitable communities sustainably integrated with the natural world. Arcosanti pursues this mission through experimentation and application of the principles of arcology, a combination of the words architecture and ecology that offers an alternative to urban sprawl.
