What The Bike Bandit Says…
“This is one of the all time great Arizona trails. The movie Oklahoma was shot nearby. Be prepared when biking here as there is no water and you are quite exposed to wind. Tremendous climbing. Enjoy the incredible scenery of burnt yellow grass. When you get done, drive south on Hwy 83 to The Steakout Restaurant and have some GREAT burgers, steak and beer. This is a real cowboy bar.”
Jason, The Bike Bandit 
There are some spectacular views on this ride. The Santa Rita Mountain peaks to the west and the upper grasslands make for some scenic riding.
This ride will challenge your climbing ability. There is close to 4,000 ft of vertical on the ride. So bring you climbing legs.
