[RC] Where do folks ride - Nat NelsonCentral Arizona, Sonoran Desert
When I moved to my "new" house nearly 10 years ago, I
was the last house on the street to the desert. Now
I've got to ride about a mile to Waterman Wash which
runs into the Gila River one way and the other goes
deep into the desert, providing access to miles of
trails and/or cross country riding.
There are single track trails, dirt roads, sand
washes, hills with moderate to steep inclines, and
LOTS of ROCKS! If I want to venture to the Gila River,
which is only a mile from my house I have plenty of
water to cross. But I stay away from there weekends
due to the ATV use. Plus my horse proved to me water
isn't an issue at this year's Land Of Sun Ride!
We ride year round here, just early mornings in the
hot summer months, which is only 3 months out of the
year. This year we've had alot of winter rains and the
desest is green complete with tall grass and TONS of
wild flowers! The saguhros are plump and healthy the
ocotillo is full of leaves and about to bloom. The
tempatures in the mid 60's to 70's. Great riding
weather right now. But if you are thinking of moving
here don't forget the high's of 120 degrees in the
summer - but it is a dry heat - well most times,
except during the monsoon, then it can be 120 degrees
with humidity.
