26 miles
2000 ft elevation gain
85 degrees at 9 am in the morning . From my house on the other side of town where this picture was taken.
Most of the canyon is perfect for gravel bikes, except the big dirt jumps. Vortex is FUN on skinny tires. I actually feel weird and slow riding my mountain bike here. The best time is at night when it’s quiet and cooler. Just watch out for rattlers.
The canyon crest entrance is quite the punchy climb as it start at 20% ish on loose dirt. Watch out for mountain bikers coming down on climbs.
