PHOENIX (AP) — Hikers of the 800-mile Arizona Trail are opposing the proposed construction of a border wall
they say will destroy the beginning marker of the nationally protected route.

The government plans on building a two-mile stretch of 30-foot fencing at Border Monument 102,
a historical marker where the Arizona Trail begins.

It has to waive a law that provides national protection for the trail,
which is one of only 11 nationally recognized scenic trails.
The plan is part of President Donald Trump's campaign promise to build a wall along the southern border.
