National Parks and Forests

It is hardly necessary to mention that the Grand Canyon National Park is situated in Arizona, and that campers will find facilities by applying to the Superintendent.

Arizona has ten of the National Forests within its borders, and as several of the transcontinental highways pass through the state those that are approached or penetrated by these highways offer camping sites. The Kaibab National Forest, bordering [207]the Grand Canyon, is one of the most accessible.

The National Forests in Arizona are the Apache (1,182,782 acres), Coconino (1,601,598 acres), Coronado (1,307,461 acres), Crook (870,130 acres), Dixie (17,680 acres), Kaibab (1,072,900 acres), Prescott (1,433,366 acres), Sitgreaves (659,337 acres); Tonto (1,994,239 acres), Tusayan (1,602,750 acres).
