On our way out of San Diego we stopped and mountain biked in the Laguna Mountains. Like the Cuyamaca Mountains, we last rode here about 20 years ago. There are more ride options now. Before we used to come...
Cuyamaca Rancho State Park
Over two decades ago when Derek and I lived in San Diego we spent countless hours riding in the mountains east of town. Whether it was Noble Canyon in the Laguna Mountains, or the fire roads and trails in...
Sedona Mountain Biking
So what if we’ve ridden in Sedona one thousand times, once more can’t hurt! We picked a weekday and off we went. For real though, we first came to Sedona to mountain bike back in the late 90’s and...
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...
Highline Trail, Payson
Back during our first year of full time rving we stopped for a week in Payson and rode a different section of the Highline Trail. This time we started at the Highway 260 Trailhead and rode west to the...
Cabin Loop, Mogollon Rim
Our spot for the next couple weeks is up on the Mogollon Rim in Arizona, east of Payson. We rode here our first year full timing but that was five years ago! The Rim is amazing with pine, fire,...
Show Low Secret Trails
The informal trail system in Show Low, Arizona is called Buena Vista Secret Trails but it’s no secret. I think one of the loops is official but the rest seem to be the “secret”. There are almost no signs...
Land of the Pioneers Trail
The bucolic pastures and quiet backwoods of Vernon, Arizona — population 122 — is the last place you’d expect to be the scene of a vile triple homicide. I didn’t even know about this story until after our ride...
Pinetop Gravel Exloring
It seems like there is an unlimited supply of gravel roads in the White Mountains. Derek went on an exploratory ride from camp one day and found a nice little loop that even incorporated some singletrack. He tends to...
Burro Mountain Ride
Our new two week boondocking spot in Pinteop Lakeside, Arizona is nestled in pine trees with daily turkey spottings. Daytime temps are perfect in the 70’s even though we’re up around 7200′. After a day of chores (laundry, a...
