2 days of riding El Camino Del Diablo, the Devil's Highway, from Ajo to Yuma and back to Ajo. Depending on the route taken, the length varies between 131 and 137 miles between gas stations. Expect deep sand, moondust, twisty roads, and parts that would be impassible when wet. Apart from the sand, the route is not overly difficult. Easy to follow on Organ Pipe and Cabeza Prieta, can be difficult with many confusing intersections on Barry M. Goldwater Range West. The deep sand would make this |

'Super rocky ride up to Sunflower mine. Rocky trail continues back to the main access road. Gold Ridge trail #47 links main access road (#201) back to the Beeline Highway. Trail 47 is grown over, washed out, and nearly impassible in places. Packing a shovel and saw is a good idea | |

 |
 |
Fun ride into history visiting the ghost towns of Gillette, Tip Top, and Packer. The roads to Gillette and Tip Top are pretty easy and shouldn't be a problem for any bike with a little clearance. Going past Tip Top to Packer and the Milk Ranch requires an experienced rider with agressive tires, steep climbs on washed out roads with tight switchbacks. | |
 |
 |
2 Days and 600+ miles of easy Forest Service roads from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon and across the Navajo Indian Reservation. | |
 |

 |
 |
Starting at the OHV area known as the Mile Markers, MM 11.5, and the Boulders, we headed into the Hieroglyphic Mountains for a great big bike friendly kind of ride. Lots of gravely washes, hard packed whoops, and spectacular views define this ride. | |
 |
 |
Sunflower mine is a real treat. In operation mining mecury into the 1980's, there is a lot of equipment still in reasonable condition. High clearance 4x4 vehicles and big bikes with experienced off road riders will find the access road to the mine challenging. Also, the easy 201 road up to the Mazatzal Wilderness is spectacular!!! | |
 |
 |
The Mile Markers (aka the Boulders) is a popular riding area near Lake Pleasant, in the Hieroglyphic Mountains, northwest of Phoenix, AZ. | |

Best suited for dirt bikes. A mix of sand, single track, sand, no track, sand, whoops, and sand. | |
 |
 |
The Island is a challenging ride but not overly difficult. Great views and loads of fun. There are a few hills that are a interesting climb, but they are short so it's easy to regroup. | |
 |
 |
If you stay off NF17, the ride is easy to moderate. NF17 is extreme, rocks, mud, hills. Make sure that your equipment is in order before attempting, or have a very good friend who flys a helicopter. | |
 |
 |
Deep sand, hugh rocks, steep climbs, broken bikes, getting lost, and single track are just part of the fun we had on this ride. | |

 |
Easy riding when dry. Can be tricky in the wet. Make sure you know where you are going before you take off in the desert. There are many unmarked turns and it can very easy to get off the trail. This ride skirts sensitive wilderness areas so STAY ON THE TRAIL! Spectactular scenery awaits around every corner! |
 |
 |
SAND! Pima Dynamite Road is fast, hard packed sand with lots of small whoops. Camp Creek and the Bartlett Lake area is deep soft sand. It's managable if you can keep your speeds up. Most of the area is closed to motorized vehicles at this time. | |
 |
2008-12-13 |
 |
Ride from Florence to Box Canyon is easy grated roads. Box Canyon has some easy rocky sections and step ups. Martinez Canyon is generally easy with short difficult rocky sections. Telegraph Canyon and Ajax Mine Road are generally easy with short rocky sections and very steep climbs and descents. |
 |
 |

 |
2008-10-12 |
 |
Gillette is very easy to get to as long as the Agua Fria River isn't running. The road from Tip Top Mine to the Milk Ranch (end) was recently graded, however, there are a number of extreme climbs. Boulder Creek has lots of rocks and deep sand. |
|
|
 |
ATR Club work day recon ride in Payson, AZ. | |
 |
 |
The Montana Mountain loop is an easy ride with spectacular views. There are a few steep climbs that should be no problem for a rider with some off road experience, even with street tires. This loop is best ridden clockwise. Be sure to exit around the gate after the quary, otherwise take the 1 mile hill to the left which is rated EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. Pinal Peak is another easy loop of almost all graded roads. | |
 |

Day 1 of a 3 day farewell ride for JD - DirtyDog before his return to Oklahoma. The extreme section from Bumble Bee to Cleator was littered with slippery rocks and sticky mud. |

Fast hard packed graded roads accent breath-taking scenery. Wagoner Road has a few challenging sections but is easily doable for big bike and inexperienced riders. Peck Mine Road features extreme hill climbs and terrible rocky sections. It has an impassible section about 2 miles from Senator Highway. |

The Montana Mountain loop is an easy ride with spectacular views. There are a few steep climbs that should be no problem for a rider with some off road experience, even with street tires. This loop is best ridden clockwise. Telegraph Canyon is a bit more difficult and has a couple of tough hills. |

The trail to and through Box Canyon is an easy fast ride. Once you make the turn off to the Coke Ovens the trail becomes progressively more difficult. Extreme climbs and descents and monster boulders fill the trails. One exit option is to cross the Gila River, an easy trail, a deep fast river crossing if you dare to take it. The second alternative route is BattleAx trail which begins with more boulders but eases up after a few miles. |

Seven Springs Road from Carefree is easy fast graded dirt road. Same with the drive up to Humbolt Lookout, which provides spectacular 360 degrees views of Horseshoe Lake and the surrounding area. Table Mesa Road can be easy to moderate depending on recent weather events. |

We started the Montana Mountain Loop, however, technical difficults forced an early retreat. | |

Easy ride up to Cordes Junction and across Bloody Basin Road to Sheep Bridge. The trail from Sheep Bridge to Horseshoe Dam is mostly easy except for crossing Deadman Wash, which can be very difficult. Crossing Horseshoe Dam on the walkway can be tricky. Crossing the dam while water is being released is SPECTACULAR! | |

The backway to Crown King is easy up to CK Rock. From there the trail has some tremendous hill climbs and rocky sections. Not recommended for big bikes or inexperienced riders. |

Great easy ride. Fast graded dirt roads. Scenery is better traveling from west to east. Crossing the Agua Fria River near Cordes Junction could be a problem after heavy rains. Otherwise the crossing is usually a trickle. |

Turkey Creek trail from Bumble Bee to Cleator is extremely difficult. Bloody Basin from Cordes Junction to Sheep Bridge is easy graded dirt road. Sheep Bridge to Horseshoe Dam has some difficult sections. |

Bulldog Canyon has a little of everything. Fast hard pack, deep sandy washes, and nasty rocky hills. Call the Tonto National Forest ranger station in Mesa to secure a free permit and combination lock access code to the recreation area before heading out. It's a small area where you can easily ride all the trails in less than half a day. | |
