Where Should I Send Resupply Boxes on the Arizona Trail

Putt putt completing the AZT at the Northern Terminus

Resupplying on the Arizona Trail (AZT) was fairly easy.  I used a combination of mail drops and in town shopping during my spring 2022 thru hike.  This method worked best for me as I do have some dietary restrictions and I can’t always get what I want at stores like Dollar General.  Below are the mail drop locations I used.  The only glitch I ran into was that my post office in Florida didn’t know how to ship a General Delivery box without the street address for the post office location the box was being shipped to.  When sending General Delivery you do not generally need the street address…but because my post office wasn’t familiar with General Delivery I put the street address on the General Delivery boxes.  Whew, that was a mouthful!  I tended to use towns that weren’t too far off the trail, as I do not like to hitch hike.  When sending a mail drop to a private business you will want to contact them ahead of time to make sure that they will accept your box.  Also double check the hours and days of operation to make sure you will be able to pick up your box on the specific day that you are passing through that location.
