Do not be misinformed though..

AZ State Trust Land DOES NOT allow Geocaching if you are caching, placing or finding, on state trust land, you are breaking the rules.

As a cacher and a responsible outdoor enthusiast, it is our responsibility to make sure we do not break the rules of the land managers. As such all caches in these areas ^Should^ have a notice or information, but it is not in any way enforced or required by Groundspeak.

Arizona State Trust Land: http://www.azland.gov/programs/natural/recreation_permit.htm

Arizona OHV laws and rules: http://www.azgfd.gov/pdfs/outdoor_recreation/ohv/atv_brochure.pdf

BLM Land : http://www.blm.gov/az/st/en/arolrsmain.html

Apache-Sitgreaves : No permits required that I know of
Bulldog Canyon : http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/tonto/recreation/ohv/recarea/?recid=35555&actid=93
Coronado forest : http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/coronado/passes-permits/recreation
Coconino Forest: http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/coconino/passes-permits/recreation/
Kaibab forest : http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/kaibab/passes-permits/recreation
Prescott forest : http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/prescott/passes-permits/recreation
Tonto : http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/tonto/passes-permits/recreation

Goldwater Range and the Cabeza Prieta :  http://www.luke.af.mil/library/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=5062

 So, without mentioning State Parks or any other private ownership areas, these are the ones I can think of that require some form of permit or contact. I am sure I missed a few, but heck, it is information gained at no time or cost to you. :)

We recently returned to the Phoenix area after leaving in 2005. The only required permit I was aware of was for State Trust Land. However, I recently read a cache log or description and it referenced a Tonto Pass. What is that and where would I get one? I am assuming it is probably another required permit?

I eventually plan on getting out to Bulldog Canyon and getting "Geocache". I know a permit is required for access there. I know it is a limited time-frame permit.

So if I am going to geocache in AZ, what federal/local permits do I need? Do all geocache descriptions state whether a certain permit is required? Or is that a crapshoot?
