Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές ποδηλασίας δρόμου στην Αριζόνα

Hermit's Rest is the endpoint of a stunning and epic ride in the Grand Canyon. Built in 1914, the structure is named after Louis Boucher, a Canadian-born prospector who staked claims near the site around 1891. With help, Boucher carved the trail into the canyon and lived alone at nearby Dripping Springs for many years. The ride is smooth and scenic, offering breathtaking canyon views. No cars are allowed on Hermit Road, making the experience even better, though shuttle buses still run. There's a small snack bar at Hermit’s Rest for a quick break. This is a must-do for any cycling enthusiast!

Mohave Point offers incredible views over the Grand Canyon, especially at sunset. You’ll also get a perfect view of the Tonto Trail winding deep into the canyon. The trail to the very tip of the point isn’t paved, so you can stop your bike and take a short hike to check it out.

At Pima Point, you can both see and hear the rumbling Colorado River with the Hermit Rapids in sight.

The fitness loop around the golf course is perfect for a Gravel bike.

The Arizona Trail leads directly through the small town of Patagonia. At Patagonia Market (open from 5am until 8pm!) and Red Mountains Foods you can refill your supplies. The only hotel in town is the Stage Stop Inn, which offers a discount for AZT hikers/bikers and has a hiker box available. If the hotel is fully booked, comfortable accommodation is available through AirBnB. Wifi and a great breakfast is available at the Gathering Grounds.

This is the far western end of the Rim Trail, one of the most popular running trails in the park. There's a shuttle bus stop if you started to the east and don't want to run all the way back. At this point, the trail tends to be narrow and near the edge of the canyon, so it's no surprise the views are incredible. If you want a milder run, the section of the Rim Trail that runs between Mather Point and Powell Point is paved, and still has stunning views.
