With exact date to be determined after collaboration from interested parties, this ride will be approximately 8 days from start to finish.
It is by far the most complex cross country I’ve ever set upon and will require a whole lot of research, planning and input.
A thumbnail sketch of the route is as follows. The trail is originally the effort of the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) and then supported by the Arizona Peace Trail Committee as well as a host of off-road clubs. At about 700 miles in length, the trail traverses very divergent terrain and climates. Elevations from about a couple hundred feet near Yuma in the desert with Ocatillo and Suguarro cactus to heights near 8,000’ in the Kingman area with ponderosa pines….
The trail spans three Arizona counties in the southwest corner of Arizona.
The trail can begin and end wherever we’d like sense it is a loop, and we have the option of getting a motel every night, camping every night, or what I would consider most enjoyable, alternating between camping for a night or two and then getting a motel for a night.
Sense the trail does include using some city, county, and state roads, it’s likely that some level of street legal status for our SXS’s will be required…..
Information from Arizona forum members, whether or not you’re interested in participating will be very welcome.
Below is a map of the trail. Let’s start discussing and adding info to this and see what we can come up with….
