After being closed for a couple years for improvements and paving, Cottonwood Pass finally opened to the west. We decided to ride to the top and down part of the other side, then back. The climb up was steady...
John’s Canyon and Citadel Ruins
John’s Canyon You win some you lose some. Today we attempted to ride John’s Canyon Road out by Gooseneck State Park. There was nobody around, no cars, no people…except for the guy in the grader. After a couple miles...

While in Tucson we are fortunate enough to have a place to park the trailer for free at some of Heidi’s family’s place. We are having a lot of fun here in Tucson visiting and checking out the area....
