I headed to Arizona for a last fall blast before the snow hit. Needed to break in a new bike. Not a new Husky but a Yeti SB5. Perfect 80's in Sedona. Had a couple of days on the mountain bike and a day on the Husky. I had not been there for about 20 years. Still traffic and crowds from hell but mid-week was not so bad. Pretty cool zone south of town... Decided to do a nice loop, up HiLine and around Cathedral Rock and south by Bell Rock.
Day 3 I was going to head up one of the two roads up to Mongollian Rim but both too congested so decided to just head out west of town on a forest road. Ended up visiting an ancient dwelling in the rocks about 5 miles out and then found a nice loop in the desert. Some good rugged rock sections and ledges and I think one could find some good riding when it's snow everywhere else.
We did basically the same mtb loop when I went to visit my son in Prescott. Pretty cool biking along the edge of those rock formations
