Little Creek Mesa We met up with some friends who live in the area and they rode two days with us. It was nice having personal tour guides! The first day we rode the singletrack at Little Creek Mesa, adding on the North Loops as well. These are black diamond trails that zig and zag …
A couple of our mountain biking friends from San Diego moved to Virgin, Utah last year. Since we were traveling by the area I contacted them and as luck would have it, they had an RV spot at their new house here. So we are hanging out with them for the week doing a bunch …
Our week here at Lake Powell has flown by as most weeks seem to. We would stay longer, but the weather is calling for some storms and unlike most of our spots, this one isn’t free. So we are heading over to Hurricane, Utah for some mountain biking and to visit with some friends that …
Hermit Road Bike Ride From Grand Canyon Village there is a road called Hermit’s Road that cars aren’t allowed on. A free shuttle bus takes you to all the vistas along the road but we didn’t want to sit on a bus so we rode our bikes from Tusayan (a little tourist town) along a …
Cottonwood trails Just down the highway from Sedona is a smaller town called Cottonwood. Dead Horse Ranch State Park had a loop of around 20 miles of singletrack that we mapped out to ride. Sundays in Sedona are pretty busy so we headed to Cottonwood for our singletrack fix. Our loop took us on trails …
Devil’s Bridge Hike We try to mix it up so we aren’t riding bikes every day and luckily there are a few hikes we want to do in the area. Devil’s Bridge is the largest natural sandstone arch in Sedona. You can do the hike a few different ways. We didn’t want to walk up …
I like the ride options from the Aerie Trailhead because there are so many loop possibilities. We spent two days riding here and covered almost every trail, some twice. Each day was a good mixture of intermediate and advanced trails. Some of my favorites were Last Frontier, Mescal, Chuckwagon, Ledge-n-Airy, Girdner, and Outer Limits. Outer …
We have a long history with Sedona, we’ve been coming here to mountain bike since the late 90’s when we were tent camping. Decades later, we are still enjoy it, though now it is much busier. So here we are, living in our RV down a dirt road among red rock cliffs, expansive views, and …
Today was a bit of an adventure. We started out by trying to ride down a back road to get to the dam at Apache Lake but after a couple miles in we encountered a very official No Trespassing Government Property sign and had to turn back. Instead, we rode a couple miles down the …
This would have been a more appropriate mountain bike ride for a Sunday because it started down the road from a church. We put together a 30 mile singletrack loop in the Honeybee Canyon system that was gorgeous and fun. The first part is easy trail that winds towards the ridgeline where things get more …
