'Member all off that natter about the desert demanding spare populations? Phooey on that. Here are three of the major megaflora of the Sonora all growing in the same square foot of soil.
Black Canyon
(where's Waldo?)
Fantasy Island North
Pass Mountain
I think this may be nearly my favorite ride in the Valley.
I met up with some locals for a pleasant afternoon spin around the mountain.
It is a lovely ride. A stunningly scenic middle ring climb up to a saddle, then a daredevil descent down the backside, through rubble strewn singletrack.
Very nice, thanks for sharing. That close-up photo of the saguaro is positively glowing. Friends and I were out on the BCT on Sunday. Its a treat to introduce someone to that sweet trail.
Extremely nice photos there. I have to try Pass mountain one of these days. I believe their doing that during the AZSF must go to that again last year was a blast. BCT is awsome, how deep were the river crossings????
HHEY chalkpaw!!
Anthony. Awesome pics as usual :rockon: Thanks for sharing. I forget how much there is around the valley that I haven't even ridden yet. Need to get out of my cave.
I will be doing the Pass Mountain ride, one of Anthony's favorites, FIP 700am from the horse staging area tomorrow if anyone wants to join. It's the last trail we rode together, in January 2009.
Of course I will be hungover because this has been an extremely sad day, and it will be a slow ride, but to me it's the only fitting tribute right now.

I have another commitment tomorrow morning otherwise I'd join you for a Pass Mtn tribute ride. I believe I'll be riding my Yeti Sunday. Anthony will be missed.
No worries, Mike. We can all do our own thing I was just throwing that out there. The beers I have been drinking tonight may make it closer to a 8am start but who knows. RIP AS
