Climbing towards the iconic white domes of Kitt Peak National Observatory is a truly unique 'sky island' experience, offering breathtaking panoramic views high above the vast Sonoran Desert. You'll ascend steadily for approximately 12 miles, gaining around 3,000-3,500ft to reach the observatory complex near 6,800 ft elevation. Prepare for a very consistent and relentless climb averaging a challenging 5.5-6.0%, with maximum pitches likely reaching 8-9%; it's a test of rhythm and endurance. The paved road winds beautifully up the mountain with typically very light traffic, allowing you to fully absorb the immense desert vistas unfolding below.

Svær landevejscykling. Kræver meget god kondition. For det meste velbelagte overflader og let at køre på.
