Peña Blanca Lake and Upper Thumb Rock Picnic Area is just northwest of Nogales, a town right on the US-Mexico border. This is a truly stunning spot to ride to that is relatively close to town. If you wish for a more challenging ride on difficult and remote - but beautiful - gravel roads, you can continue west past here and head up to the Ruby ghost town.
