THE ROUTE:
The 616 mile Ride Across Arizona is a cross-state adventure ride that we originally rode in 2020. The route is made up of non-technical dirt, gravel and forest service roads with less than 20% of the route being pavement. The western end starts on the Colorado River at the California/Arizona border from the historic river settlement of Topock and finishes at the New Mexico border near the remote outpost of Blue Arizona. By the time you arrive at the finish you’ll have crossed deserts, windswept mesas and several mountain ranges. Unless you plan otherwise no one will be there to greet you at the finish, it is remote!
The Ride Across Arizona traverses through a cross-section of Arizona defined by spectacular scenery, a variety of landscapes, historic towns and remote wilderness. You’ll ride along the Colorado Plateau, the Mogollon Rim, San Francisco Peaks, White Mountains and Blue Primitive Area not to mention riding remote sections of the National Old Road Trail and Route 66. There are numerous campgrounds along the way and hotels can be found along the route at Seligman, Williams, Flagstaff, Forest Lakes and Show Low. The finish is near the beautiful Town of Alpine which has numerous places to stay.
