Saguaro National Park has two separate locations, intersected by the entire city of Tucson. The east one is where we ride a nice road loop because the paved road is one way and twisty and for the most part,...
Starr Pass Trails
When we are in Tucson, this mountain bike trail network is our favorite go to because it is close in, has remarkable views, and so many interesting and fun trail features. This is a great place to put together...
Sun & Saguaros Ride

Montezuma’s Castle and Well
Established December 8, 1906, Montezuma Castle is the third National Monument dedicated to preserving Native American culture. We visited on a weekday and it’s a quick trip through the park to view the ruins. Neither part of this monument’s...
Cottonwood Mountain Biking
Our two weeks on the Mogollon Rim were up and we moved on to a dispersed spot outside Camp Verde. I say our two weeks were up because you are allowed to stay 14 days in most forests before...
