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

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

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...
West Fork Hike
Since Derek’s bike was incapacitated we hiked a different section of the Black River. This time we started out by Big Lake and hiked down to the West Fork and back up. The day started a little chilly but...
East Fork Greer Loop
None of the biking apps had much info on these trails, I don’t think many people ride here. So, we didn’t quite know what to expect. After an unexpected bike part blowup, we had to alter our planned route...
