Ride Across Arizona

The 630 mile Ride Across Arizona route is a cross-state adventure ride developed and mapped by the folks from AZ Gravel Rides. 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 (suggested direction is west to east) starts on the Colorado River at the California/Arizona border from the historic river settlement of  Topock and finishes at Alpine, Arizona. There is 66,000 feet of elevation gain!

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.
