Bicycling America's National Parks: Arizona & New Mexico

The Best Road and Trail Rides from the Grand Canyon to Carlsbad Caverns

Sarah Bennett Alley, Foreword by Dennis Coello

The outstanding variety of natural environments and terrain found in the Southwest, coupled with its rich cultural and historic heritage, make the national parks of Arizona and New Mexico a cyclist's paradise. With this book as your guide you can ride to a secluded overlook on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon; glide through the Sonoran Desert in the company of massive saguaro cactus; or pedal among the ancient ruins of the Ancestral Puebloans at Chaco Canyon. There are routes and trails in this book suitable for both road and mountain bikers from novice to expert. They traverse the beautiful and enchanting landscapes of the desert Southwest, while taking you to some of the region's most fascinating historical and archeological treasures.

Each ride description includes a detailed map, tour directions, information about the trail or road surface, the length and difficulty of the ride, and information on sights you'll see along the way. A trip-planning appendix for each park tells you where to stay or camp, do your laundry, eat, buy supplies, and repair or rent a bike.
