Lets have an Arizona thread.

Post best outdoor places for the following

Hiking
Camping
Shooting Guns (legally)
Fishing

Photos and map locations would help the most.

Here's mine:
Hiking: Superstition Mountain Lost Dutchman Trail

Camping: Holly Lake. Wake up to passing moose, bears and wild cows, very scenic.

Shooting Outdoors: I live in the SE of the Valley (San Tan Valley) and its hard to find a place to shoot that way legally so I head north towards Signal Butte in Mesa

Fishing: Holly lake wins again, you have to give it a try guys.

>fly-fishing
If you want to catch trout, go to the streams and lakes up on and below the Mogollon Rim anywhere between Payson and Alpine (and east and south of Alpine is good too). There is some good Reservation fishing up there. Out around and east of Tucson are some fun (though small) trout streams on the "sky islands". Oak Creek, Beaver Creek, the tributaries of the Grand Canyon, and of course Lee's Ferry can all produce good trout as well.

Please don't abuse these areas, as trout populations depend on natural reproduction in most of them (and not stocking). Trout habitat in Arizona is fragile. It's a desert state, and we don't have the same kind of plethora of opportunities you can find in the Rockies. Read local regulations, don't take more than your daily limit, and, if you're fishing catch-and-release, when possible, use a net to land fish, play the fish quickly (don't drag on the fight), de-barb your hooks, handle the fish gently, don't use those nasty jigs with a billion killer hooks on them, and don't use bait (the trout swallow bait and often fight with the hook lodged in their stomach, as opposed to being lodged in their jaw).

>shooting
Any public land, I suppose. Arizona has more than enough to go around

>camping
It was a revelation to me when I realized that you can camp pretty much anywhere on BLM land, not that you'd want to. Most BLM land is the flat, uninteresting sagebrush high desert.

>hiking
I would run out of space in this post if I-

Does state trust land count as public land for shooting? I hear you can get into a lot of trouble for shooting on State Trust land...

I don't know. I was thinking National Forests and BLM land when I wrote that.

seriously, if you guys want to hike and camp in one of the most beautiful places in the world, look up Jackass canyon. it's a relatively short hike (2-3 miles) to the colorado river. you walk down through an amazing canyon with some scrambling
then come out to a pristine beach. heaven.

Hey there San Tan friend. There's so much hiking and camping in this state it's hard even make a list. The Oak Flats campground just east of Superior is an hour or less from Tempe and probably even shorter for you to get to. It's a free public campground and the are around it is pretty amazing. The rock is incredibly featured and one of the best areas in the state for rock climbing. I've wanted to . Pic is from there.

As for shooting, I also used to go shoot in the desert east of the 79 and south of the 60. Around here:
