Bicycle Tour of ArizonaCactus to Ghost Towns
6 Days • 436 Miles • 20,000' Elevation Gain
Arizona - with its cripplingly beautiful sunsets that light the western sky on fire and desert roads that stretch for miles.
This bicycle tour starts and ends in Tucson, Arizona. The mild winters and endless sunshine make Arizona the perfect winter riding wonderland. Our spring and fall tour loops around southeastern Arizona through cactus and Joshua Trees, as we climb stark desert mountains on our way to New Mexico and back.
On the way we visit some of the historic boomtowns of the southwest, including Bisbee and Tombstone, the "The Town Too Tough To Die."
