Black Hills, AZ

Crickets… The Black Hills route is a whole lot of nothingness, riding on the Black Hills Back Country Scenic Byway east of Tucson. Big open vistas. Cactus and, only if you get lucky, a tarantula. 34 miles and 4,600 feet of gain is our recommended route but easy to make it shorter or longer. The ratios tell you it won’t be speedy (climb, baby, climb.)
